Vale Comrades Sarah Carter and Pete Steedman

Since the last update, our movement has mourned the passing of two Victorian Labor greats.

Sarah Carter

Sarah Carter was tireless advocate for her community and the cause of vulnerable children around the world. As Councillor and former Mayor of Maribyrnong City Council and through her work with Save the Children, Sarah put her values into action.

As a friend, mentor and colleague, Sarah had a significant impact on the lives of so many people across our movement. Her sudden loss will be felt for time to come.

Sarah dedicated over a decade of her life to Save the Children, and you can contribute to the cause in her memory.

Vale Sarah Carter.

Pete Steedman

Pete was the Labor member for Casey from 1983 to 1984. His family and friends remember him as a courageous, outrageous and progressive Labor larrikin – but most of all, as a comrade. Although his time in Parliament was short, his contribution lives on.

Vale Pete Steedman.

Values Statement Update

As an outcome of the 2024 State Conference, we are pleased to share our updated Victorian Labor Values Statement:

The Values Statement of the Party is stated hereunder:

Victorian Labor values achieving social justice, fairness, inclusion and equality. The Party is a collective cause and larger than any individual. We value honesty and integrity, and seek to ensure that the Party is a safe, inclusive and respectful environment.

We are proud of our deep roots and history in the labour movement. We support workers organising in union to achieve justice, fairness and equity. Our members, volunteers and supporters are our greatest assets.

Prejudice and discrimination — including sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia — have no place in our party.

We celebrate the diversity of our Party.

We support one another because we are stronger together.

This is Labor.
