This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Saturday morning, ahead of speeches by Allan and the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, a group of protesters entered the Moonee Valley Racecourse building and began chanting outside the conference room filled with MPs, unionist and other rank-and-file members.
The room remained locked for about 15 minutes and the chanting continued throughout the in memoriam section of the conference, marking the deaths of former Labor minister Simon Crean, Dunkley MP Peta Murphy and Senator Linda White.
The Allan government, meanwhile, has been urged to scrap a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with the Israel ministry of defence in 2022 and “end co-operation and investments with Israeli weapons companies”, including Elbit Systems, in another successful motion.
But Kat Hardy, a supporter of the motions, told the conference floor Paul Hamer, a co-chair of the parliamentary friends of Israel group, “played a constructive role in engaging in the debate”.
After calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in December, Albanese joined his Canadian and New Zealand counterparts to urge Israel not to commit what would be a “devastating” and “catastrophic” ground offensive on Rafah in southern Gaza.
Delegates also passed a motion calling on the state to mandate presumption of bail for children charged with any offence in Victoria and abandon plans to trial ankle bracelets for youth offenders.
