Socialist Alternative wishes to acknowledge that Socialism 2022 will be taking place on stolen Aboriginal land – the land of the Gadigal people. Sovereignty of this land was never ceded and we acknowledge not only the genocide against Aboriginal people which continues to this day, but also the ongoing resistance. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
COVID Safety
The Socialism Conference organising team takes the health and safety of our guests, speakers and venue staff very seriously. We ask attendees to please keep in mind the health and wellbeing of all other guests, speakers and building staff throughout the conference by wearing a mask and being COVID conscious. We’re asking all attendees to please take a Rapid Antigen Test before coming to the conference, and if you’re feeling unwell with flu-like symptoms please stay at home.
