🚨 BREAKING: Nick Reece announces launch of 'Little India' in Docklands📍

Melbourne Lord Mayor Nick Reece has announced plans to launch ‘Little India’ in Docklands, speaking at yesterday’s Indian Independence Day event at Federation Square.

More than $1.2 million has been allocated by the City of Melbourne to progress the project.

The announcement comes as Victoria continues to carry the highest state government debt in Australia, raising concerns about public spending and the priorities of government, councils and whether taxpayer funds are being directed to Victorian interests.

The Indian national anthem was then sung as the Indian flag was raised at Federation Square.
