Protest group said it had called the rally to protest state and federal Labor ‘aiding and abetting the genocide of Palestinian people’

Dozens of pro-Palestinian protestors have crashed Victorian Labor’s annual state conference ahead of what is expected to be fiery debate on motions related to the Israel-Hamas war.

The chanting continued throughout the in memoriam section of the conference, marking the deaths of Labor minister Simon Crean,State MP Sonia Kilkenny, whose seat of Carrum party overlapped with Murphy’s, said Frankston MP, Paul Edbrooke, was meant to join her on stage but had been locked out of the conference room.

Labor official Pamela Anderson then told the room that “the protesters who were outside have been moved on and I just want to reassure anyone who has a child in childcare they did not enter that area … it was secure and safe”.
