Community
As a nation we are at our best when we are working together for the common good.
Labor believes that governments can play an important role in building stronger relationships at each level of our society.
- Within Australia, Labor is committed to a society in which every person is able to actively and productively participate in the life of the community, and the whole community responds sensitively to individual needs.
- Labor is committed to the strong role played by community organisations in both helping individuals in need and in building a sense of community.
- Labor is committed to a community that embraces cultural diversity—a society that celebrates diversity and respects both the rights and responsibilities of Australian citizenship.
- Labor is committed to closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in life expectancy, health and education outcomes. We believe that reconciliation is crucial to our capacity to face the world as a united, peaceful and just nation.
