It is with great regret that I accept the resignation of Vic Alhadeff as Chair of the Community Relations Commission (CRC).

Mr Alhadeff has committed his working life to the promotion of intercultural harmony, however I understand and respect the decision he has made.

During his time as Chair of the CRC he has brought multicultural communities together on many occasions to restore trust and resolve tensions.

Mr Alhadeff was appointed to the role because of his passion for and commitment to a harmonious and multicultural NSW. I have no doubt he will continue to be an agent for harmony and tolerance in our community.

I sincerely thank him for his service.
