The National Platform and Constitution was formally adopted by the 44th National Conference in Sydney on 27–29 April 2007.
The Platform represents our long-term aspirations for Australia and reflects rigorous consultation with Party members and the wider community. It is the result of extensive consultation over two years by the National Policy Committee, which hosted forums in cities and regional areas. Many members participated through these forums or submitted individual recommendations. The National Platform was debated and approved by delegates to our highest democratic forum, the National Conference.
The National Platform provides a solid foundation for a future Rudd Labor Government. It is the basis of our most important task – winning the 2007 election.
