Over the years, many Chinese Australians have been elected to local, state, and federal levels of government, contributing to the legislative process and shaping policies that impact the broader community. NSW MP Jenny Leong is one of them.
Join Jenny, who has been the Member for Newtown since 2015, at the Museum of Chinese in Australia for Representation and Racism: Reflections on being a Chinese Australian Politician.
Drawing on her own experience, Jenny will reflect on representation and racism from the perspective of a Chinese Australian in public office. Her talk brings a personal, contemporary dimension to the MOCA History Forum’s exploration of Chinese Australian lives and their place in Australia’s wider story.
