Diwali
Iwan WALTERS (Greenvale) (13:29): Across recent weeks it has been such a joy celebrating Navratri and Diwali across our community. It was a particular pleasure to welcome so many community leaders and organisations from Greenvale and across Melbourne’s north, like Kali Mata Mandir, BAPS Mill Park and Northern Melbourne Marathi Mandal to the Premier’s Diwali state reception for a joyful celebration of culture, connection and shared values. Diwali reminds us of the power of light over darkness and the importance of compassion, selflessness, unity and respect – common values that resonate deeply across our diverse Victorian community – and to all those celebrating in the weeks ahead, I wish you a Diwali filled with light, love and new beginnings.
