The young woman in a long brown coat said: “You say you're offering change but it's the same old Tory politics. We need better.»

When other participants and security tried to snatch the woman's banner from her hands and lead her away, she added: «We need better. The climate cannot wait.”

The Labor Party leader responded: “We gave up being the party of protest five years ago.”

“We want to be the party of power.” «.

That's true. This is not the first time protesters have disrupted the Labor leader at a major launch event. Last year, a protester covered it in glitter during a speech at a party conference.
