Labour Party conference set to begin on Saturday

From Morning Report, 7:38 am on 29 November 2019

It's been a challenging year for the Labour Party - and members will have a chance to look back on the ups and downs at the annual conference this weekend.

The venue is Whanganui - where party faithful will gather, to take stock, propose policies, and begin preparations for the 2020 election campaign.

A few months ago the party was torn asunder by the sexual assault scandal - leading to the president Nigel Haworth stepping aside.

The parliamentary wing has also had its fair share of dramas as part of the coalition government.

RNZ political editor Jane Patterson will also be heading off to Whanganui.
