“Deepavali celebrates the victory of light over darkness. Fantastic to join with the Tamil Australian community at the Sydney Murugan Temple today. The temple draws in people from all walks of life every day, and has become a sanctuary for Western Sydney's South Asian Hindu community,” Albanese posted on X.

Earlier, the Australian prime minister wished “a happy Festival of Lights to all those celebrating over the coming days”.
