(June 21, 2023 / JNS) The governing Australian Labor Party’s branch in Victoria, the country’s second-most-populous state, passed a resolution calling on the federal government to “move immediately to recognise Palestine.”
The measure was “carried by the voices,” meaning it had overwhelming support so there was no formal vote. Some 400 out of the 630 party conference members attended the event at the Moonee Valley Racing Club on Sunday. Victorian Labor’s annual state conference is its supreme policymaking and governing body.
