Leftist group loses heavily in Victorian ballot
The Socialist Left Group in Victoria suffered a sweeping defeat in a branch ballot to elect Australian Labor Party council delegates. Only 2 of 208 positions were won, while 156 delegates backed the Administrative Council, shaping the Victorian delegation for the ALP federal conference. The result implies limited representation for the Socialist Left on the national stage.
