Diwali
Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (15:13): I would like to join with my colleagues in wishing our very diverse community a happy Diwali and a happy Bandi Chhor Divas. Like others, I was absolutely delighted to be able to visit Cranbourne West Primary School as part of BAPS’s amazing kids Diwali celebration. To be with the member for Bass is always a joy; being with the member for the Bass and surrounded by children and all that that means in terms of the celebration of good over evil, light over darkness, as has so beautifully been articulated, was a particular joy.
I would like to also thank the people who came as guests on Saturday night to the Premier’s Diwali: Yagnesh, Madhu, Amrishkumar, Deepali, Jayesh, Ruchir, Jasbir, Vipul and of course Amrit. I am so happy to have you in the community.
