A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will host a Kabaddi exhibition match in the lead up to the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
“Multiculturalism makes our state stronger and more vibrant—and sports and events are an important celebration of our diversity. It’s why we’ll host a Kabaddi exhibition match in the lead up to the 2026 Commonwealth Games—to celebrate culture, promote physical activity and provide the whole community the opportunity to tap in to a unique sporting and cultural experience,” a press release from the Premier’s office said today.

Labor has a proud record of supporting Victoria’s multicultural communities. Since coming to government we’ve invested more than $300 million in support for multicultural communities, it said.
“Matthew Guy’s Liberals can’t be trusted to support multicultural communities—they only pretend to care about communities in an election year.
“Labor is doing what matters—celebrating Victoria’s cultural diversity by supporting community festivals and events, infrastructure and services,” the release added.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
