 Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (09:57): I also had the great pleasure of attending a Diwali celebration on Saturday night. Mr McIntosh, I am sure you would have enjoyed being there as well, and back in Ballarat. It was a great event that Ballarat Indian Association put on – a beautiful event, inclusive of everyone; everyone was allowed to come along. Of course I pay tribute to those in our Indian community in Ballarat that make such a difference every day, working hard.
