AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY AND THE IRAQI LABOUR MOVEMENT

Early day motion 390, tabled 26 November 2007 by David Anderson (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House warmly congratulates the Australian Labor Party and its leader Kevin Rudd on a stunning election victory; wishes the Labor Party the very best in its goals of social justice; and hopes for its support in seeking to provide moral assistance and solidarity to the new Iraqi labour movement, not least its trade unions which are a beacon of non-sectarianism and part of wider Iraqi efforts to build a thriving, democratic and federal Iraq.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Scottish National Party 1, UUP 1.
