Pro-Palestinian protesters have stormed Labor's Victorian state conference in Melbourne. The event gate-crashed ahead of a speech from the Prime Minister to supporters and debate over motions relating to the Gaza conflict."Palestine will live forever. Albanese blood on your hands!"
A delegate from construction union CFMEU was among those calling for support for pro-Palestinian motions. Inside, party delegates debated motions brought on state and federal policies, including the conflict in Gaza, the future gas strategy, and the state's public housing plans. "As we've seen today, there are those who want to distract us, to silence us, to scare us, but our movement and our party is one of the oldest in the world. We are descendants of that proud legacy and defenders of that shining future because it is only Labor, the movement that people and in turn then Labor governments that will make our state and our nation fairer for everyone."
The Australian government has repeatedly condemned the October 7 Hamas attack - and continues to call for the release of hostages.At last year's meeting, Victorian Labor members passed a motion for the Albanese government to recognise Palestinian statehood within this term of parliament.
