Fantastic weekend for socialist policy and debate ✊🌹
Young Labor Left Victoria had some massive wins and showed exactly what bold, convicted and purposeful policy looks like this year at Victorian Young Labor Conference.
Peter Dutton wants to privatise Australia’s visa system. It’s hard to imagine a more core function of government, even harder to think of how this might serve our country’s interests. And there are hundreds of good jobs at stake. We simply have to make him reconsider.
Equality is not negotiable!
Young Labor Left Victoria signed this open letter calling on federal Labor to remove religious exemptions from existing Discrimination Acts and to not allow any discriminatory exemptions in proposed Religious Freedom/ Discrimination Acts

Labor should protect the marginalised and work to end discrimination against trans and non binary, and Queer/LGBT people
Young Labor Left Victoria affirmed our position to support Queer/ LGBTI people of faith who face additional discrimination in their communities

Yesterday there was an emotional and important debate on #asylum - a good debate, which advances a progressive policy framework. I’m proud to have contributed to that, and look forward to campaigning on it with my friend @gedkearney#ALPConf18
'When CEO’s pay rises four times faster than average wage growth, to be 75 times the average wage, something is very wrong.' - @BoConnorMP#LabConf18#auspol
Amazing breaking news! @AustralianLabor support a critical safety net for all people, children, men and women who seek asylum in the community. A huge step forward for fairness and dignity in our society. #srss#roofovermyhead#laborconf18#leadership
Labor will always fight for our public broadcasters. The Liberals will cut the public institutions that Australians trust.
The difference couldn’t be clearer.
