    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs Tim Watts revealed on ABC News Breakfast that one of the families killed in the crash was from Point Cook in Melbourne’s west — 30-year-old Jatin Chugh, his partner — 44-year-old Pratibha Sharma, and her nine-year-old daughter Anvi.

    Daljeet Bakshi from Australian Sikh Support said Ms Sharma was irreplaceable during the COVID-19 pandemic, packing food parcels and delivering them personally to the needy in Point Cook.

    Ms Sharma contested the 2018 state election as an independent candidate in Werribee, and Mr Bakshi said her campaign drew upon her great love for her local community.

    The mood was sombre in Daylesford as hundreds gathered for a vigil to mourn the death of five people, including two children, killed when a car drove into a busy beer garden at the Royal Hotel on Sunday evening.

    Many embraced each other as they arrived at Victoria Park to pay their respects and show their support following a tragic crash that rocked the small regional Victorian town known for its natural mineral springs.

    Federal MP Catherine King and Victorian Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas attended the vigil and addressed the crowd, while local leaders emphasised the importance of community support.
