The unofficial parliament of NSW—the State Australian Labour Party Annual Conference-met in Sydney during the holiday weekend and did quite a lot of things to pinpoint more than ever the fact that it believes that it has some considerable hold on the Government even if the belief is greater than reality.

It should be kept in mind that most members of the State Parliament attended some of the successful termination, 50 did sittings and even if they didn't, they do have considerable sway in their Labour branches. Also the majority of union secretaries and presidents are members of the State Upper House and that the Premier, Mr Cahill, was at times an unhappy listener at the official table.
