Policy debates in the Labor Party have historically been loud, brash and engaging. In this party we love nothing more than to thrash out policy, at local level through branches and at higher party forums. It’s one of the things that differentiates us from our conservative opponents. To say that these have sometimes been the focus of intense debate would be an understatement. The battles in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly over uranium and privatisation, were legendary.

Australian Labor’s new website and online social hub Labor Connect is a new place for Labor supporters and the wider community to connect with each other and participate in current progressive policy debates.
Creating a vibrant and active online community fulfils an important resolution from the Party’s National Conference last year but also reflects the ongoing tradition of Australian Labor as the people’s party. Through Labor Connect we’ve made it easy to participate and be heard.
