The Congress was held as a process of consultation and discussion over 6 months, beginning on the 60th anniversary of its founding in March 1964.

 

Congress delegates read submissions from members and approved various changes to the Party Program, adopted a report on the international situation and one on the work of the 15th Central Committee.

 

Motions were debated and adopted on our ICOR affiliation and on retaining an Australian focus in our work.

 

Younger members were brought onto the new Central Committee, which then elected the following office-bearers.

 

Chairperson: Nick G.

 

Vice-Chairperson: Alice M. 

 

Congress also discussed our ongoing priorities and tasks and referred a number of matters to the incoming Central Committee.

 

Congress reaffirmed our determination to build the revolutionary movement for the achievement of socialism and anti-imperialist independence.
