Nevertheless, any academic study of recent successive Labor Party national conferences indicates the affirmation of a Palestinian state was the trajectory to which it was quickly moving. A combination of its Left with rigorous anti-Zionists on its Right more than guaranteed that outcome. It was this result which I was suggesting in a piece in the Australian Jewish News, “Will she be Right” as long ago of June 21, 1989. The growing influence over time in inner city electorates of particularly Sydney and Melbourne traditionally represented by the Australian Labor Party has guaranteed this.
