Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:46): The joy of living in our rich, vibrant, multicultural state is having the opportunity to learn about diverse cultures and take part in them. I was honoured to attend the BAPS annual Diwali at their mandir in Mill Park on Sunday. This year’s Diwali was celebrated with the theme of ‘Unity: a celebration of harmony, compassion and togetherness’. The celebration observed by thousands of local families is a reminder of the triumph of light over darkness and the strength found when individuals and families come together. My warm congratulations to the BAPS Mill Park on their wonderful event.
