Day two of the Labor national conference erupted with fiery debate over AUKUS, as rank-and-file members demanded its removal from the party platform despite billions pledged for submarines—revealing deep fractures in the party’s defense stance. Beyond AUKUS, delegates voted to ease telehealth barriers for end-of-life care and expanded conscience votes to include voluntary assisted dying, broadening Labor’s moral flexibility. Gambling reform also took center stage, with calls to empower regulators and protect vulnerable groups from predatory industry practices. A major win for workers came as delegates blocked employer lockouts after protected strike action. The day closed with a formal dinner honoring Wayne Swan and Linda Burney with life memberships, while discussions on Islamophobia and anti-worker policies underscored the grassroots push for a more diverse, socially conscious Labor movement.
