The branch is primarily made up of students from Victoria University and Massey University in Wellington, and focuses on issues relevant to young New Zealanders. Members of Vic Labour also play a large role in Young Labour, the youth wing of the party.[1] The branch is part of the Wellington Central Labour Electorate Committee. It is a "special branch" under the Labour Party constitution which means that members may live outside the boundaries of the Wellington Central electorate and do not have to be students. However, members of VicLabour are in general under the age of 26. VicLabour's members participate in a wide range of activities including protests, being active in policy development, campaigning and community work.[2] HistoryVictoria Labour Club was established in 1934 by Alfred Katz. The branch was invigorated by Labour activists in the 1960s and helped to organise large opposition protests to the Vietnam War. Membership has fluctuated often over the years but has always stayed prominent. Student PoliticsMembers of the branch have been heavily involved in student politics at Victoria University and Massey University. Andrew Little, former leader of the New Zealand Labour Party and current Minister of Justice, was President of the Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association 1988-89.[3] In 2011 VicLabour members put forward a variety of submissions to try to prevent the VSM bill coming into force and attended a number of protests and readings of the bill at Parliament. Current Office HoldersThere are currently 12 elected members on the executive for 2018/19. In 2018 the branch expanded its executive to include a Rainbow officer, Multicultural officer (currently vacant) and a Māori officer to liaise with relevant sectors within the party. In the same year, the Massey Labour Supporters club operating at Wellington's Massey University campus gained a representative position.
