ADJOURNMENT

Motion (by Mr Collaery) proposed:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.

Australian Labor Party

MR CONNOLLY (11.01): Mr Speaker, a hundred years ago today, on 27 November 1890, the Labor Council of New South Wales considered a motion moved by one R. Harris and Jones, initial or first name unrecorded. The motion was:

... with a view to securing better representation of Labor in Parliament and to effectively organise all that are favourable to the said object, this Council deems it advisable to establish Labor Electoral Leagues in every centre where practicable throughout the colony, and the Parliamentary Committee be instructed to prepare a scheme for the organisation and government of same.

Mr Speaker, that resolution was carried and marked, in effect, the beginning of the Australian Labor Party. I think that is an event that bears reflection and notice by this house.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 11.03 pm
