Delegates, in these coming days, I want us to have a fair dinkum Labor Party conference
I'm very confident the Labor Party platform will change on Saturday
I'm proposing to insert a new set of words into Labor's platform which would commit the Labor Party into amending the Marriage Act to ensure equal access to marriage for all couples, irrespective of sex, who have a mutual commitment to a shared life
It will certainly put the pressure on the Coalition parties to provide a conscience vote for their members if that's where the Labor Party ends up after this weekend
It's a very strong statement of values for the Labor Party. It's about ensuring that the Labor Party is on the right side of history on this issue.

They have done in five years what the Labor Party couldn't do in 10.
The Liberals are the party of convenience. The Labor Party is the party of conviction
It's highly controversial . . . this should be part of the national conversation of the Labor Party.
There's definitely a place for participatory democracy but I don't think his reform realistically reflects the structure of the Labor Party.
How do you take control of the Australia Labor Party back from the factions and deliver it to 35,000 members of the Australian Labor Party? Because those members have been leaving in droves.

Anyone who rats on the Labor Party will get exactly what this quisling Quasimodo from Queensland got
Yesterday, elements of the Labor Party forced him to give up the job he loved because they wanted to shore up the Prime Minister's position in Parliament.
