00:12When we signed up for this membership card, we didn't sign up for the status quo.
00:16Agitating for change, Ed Husic had planned to move a motion ramping up Labor's condemnation of Israel

01:30Now we begin the road to the next election and the opportunity for another victory.
01:36And with that, Australia's single largest political gathering is over.
01:40After three days of debate, Labor members have endorsed the platform they'll use to launch their bid for a third
01:46term in 2028.
