I know the Prime Minister is aware about the Community Exchange which is happening on friday which is a meeting between 50 businesses and 50 charities and community organizations, and hope the Prime Minister will congratulate the Freedom Communications have already offered 150 hours of their time to help local charities, including westfield.
