Democrats' National Conference

I've just finished attending the Democrats' National Conference in Canberra. It was a great chance to meet lots of members I haven't seen for a while and reaffirm the key values and crucial role of the political party I am in. The theme of the conference was safeguarding democracy and human rights, which is a bigger challenge than ever locally and globally.

I'll write later on a few themes and issues which struck me out of the weekend, but overall it was good for me, as an individual member of the party, to see all of the party's federal Parliamentarians so clearly commit to the party's core vision and the working together to tackle the challenges it faces.

The party Leader, Lyn Allison, gave a good speech and the conference set the party on the right course for what will be a very difficult but important couple of years.
