Labor Branches Clash Over Protest Laws | Brisbane News

Published 2 months ago
Description

Labor branches across NSW are rallying to scrap tough anti-protest laws, with 56 branches backing motions to repeal or review legislation that can land protesters in jail for up to two years. The party’s left wing is fully on board, but rank-and-file members fear they’ll be sidelined due to the motions being pushed to the last-minute agenda before the March election. Meanwhile, the Premier is set to unveil a major $15-year train manufacturing plan for the Hunter region — a union-friendly pledge that may get drowned out by the protest debate. Critics also point to a flawed report on party priorities, with grassroots groups demanding more attention to Palestine and Aukus. And amid all this, Inner West’s mayor is pushing to tackle poker machine harm — turning this conference into a fiery clash of priorities.
