As Diwali, the Festival of Lights, approaches, the Victorian Labor Team has collectively extended warm wishes to Hindu communities across the state. With messages of unity, prosperity, and appreciation for the cultural vibrancy that Diwali brings, Labor representatives are acknowledging the vital role that the Hindu community plays in shaping Victoria’s multicultural identity.
Premier Jacinta Allan and her team, including members like Tim Pallas, Gabrielle Williams, and Ros Spence, have come together to honour Diwali’s spirit of light triumphing over darkness. The Premier’s message celebrates the resilience and optimism that Diwali represents, qualities that resonate with Victorians from all backgrounds.
In a shared statement, the Labor representatives expressed their gratitude to Hindu Australians for their contributions to community life, whether through business, cultural engagement, or community service. These contributions not only strengthen Victoria’s multicultural society but also enrich the state’s social fabric.
Diwali’s significance stretches beyond religious bounds, with celebrations bringing together people of various faiths to witness vibrant displays of lights, exchange gifts, and share meals with loved ones. The Victorian Labor Team recognises this as a time to reflect on shared values such as family, community support, and collective resilience—values that unite Victorians of all backgrounds.
Alongside Premier Allan, representatives including Ingrid Stitt, Pauline Richards, and Lee Tarlamis are joining the celebrations, each reinforcing the state government’s commitment to fostering an inclusive society. With events planned across the state, the Diwali festivities reflect Victoria’s growing multiculturalism and serve as a powerful reminder of the strength found in diversity.
As families gather to light diyas and enjoy the festival’s colours, the Victorian Labor Team’s greetings serve as a reminder of the strong support for multicultural communities within the state. Their collective message celebrates Diwali not only as a religious festival but as a shared celebration of resilience, joy, and hope for a bright future in Victoria.
