Saturday 7th May, 2011 marked the most exciting political event for Australian Oromo people. The Australian Oromo Community Association in Victoria created an event for politicians at a national level, and national government services to meet with the Oromo people; to learn of the Oromo people's message and to facilitate a face-to-face consultation. Adam Bandt, MP for Melbourne represents one of the highest levels of government in the Melbourne region, accompanied by representatives of Australia's largest social security body (Centrelink), Australian Migrant Education Resource Service (AMES), Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) and local Mayor sat down to listen to the community present the story of the community. Over 600 Oromo people came to this event, so successful, there was no room to sit and people sat outside the jampacked hallway, eagerly waiting to hear the words of our people being taught to the highest political representatives of the Australian community
