Compassion
Labor believes in social justice and social inclusion. As a nation, our true greatness lies in our treatment of those among us who are most marginalised.
We believe in a society that protects and supports those who face difficulties and disadvantage whether because of disability, illness, old age, misfortune or other factors that make it hard for a person to cope.
Labor holds to its tradition of reaching out, embracing, protecting and supporting those in need—as well as supporting those who help people in need.
Labor is committed to encouraging a spirit of community service in which as Australians we do not just look after ourselves, but always look beyond ourselves to how we can help and serve those less fortunate than ourselves, at home or abroad.
