Today I represented the Leader of the Opposition at Celebrate India’s Melbourne Diwali at Federation Square.
The Festival of Lights celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. It is also a time for families and friends to come together.
It is the 20th anniversary of the Diwali Festival in Melbourne. Thousands of people came during the day.
From vibrant dance and music to delicious food and heartfelt conversations, the event showcased the richness of Indian heritage and the strength of multicultural Australia.
