    NSW State ConferenceThe NSW State Conference was a great opportunity

    for country delegates to speak on the issues important

    to them and their communities. Delegates gave

    impassioned speeches about the future of Country

    Labor, indigenous issues, educational access in rural

    and regional NSW, the need to differentiate ourselves

    from the reens, coal seam gas exploration, industrial

    relations and our health services in country NSW.

    t also offered a chance for delegates to meet, catch up

    with old friends and share experiences or raise issues

    with Federal Ministers and NSW Shadow Ministers.
