Federal Member for Dunkley Jodie Belyea today announced that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will support the Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple’s Diwali celebrations.
This $30,000 election commitment will support one of the most significant celebrations at the Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple, Diwali, the Festival of Lights. The event brings together thousands of Hindus to celebrate this important cultural and spiritual occasion.
The Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple is one of the largest Hindu temples in the Southern Hemisphere and serves as a vital spiritual and cultural hub for the growing Hindu community in Melbourne’s South-East.
The Albanese Labor Government recognises the importance of cultural festivals in strengthening community bonds and celebrating the rich diversity of our multicultural society.
Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
Quotes attributable to Jodie Belyea MP:
“I am proud that Labor is supporting the Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple’s Diwali celebrations– it is reflective of the rich diversity in our multicultural society.
“Only Labor will deliver for multicultural communities that call Melbourne’s South- East home.”
