Tasmanian Young Labor has endorsed a motion that would effectively exclude former premier Paul Lennon from party committees and offices if broadly adopted - which Mr Lennon described as "rubbish" and not worth his time. The branch, part of Labor's left faction, held its annual conference on Sunday in which it adopted a range of policies into its platform, which could then be debated by the broader party at next year's state conference. One of the motions outlined a proposal to exclude professional lobbyists from the party, and while it did not mention Mr Lennon by name, it has been interpreted by other party members as targeting the ex-premier. "Tasmanian Young Labor calls upon Tasmanian Labor to include in the rules of the Australian Labor Party (Tasmania Branch) a provision which would prevent professional lobbyists employed by private companies that are for profit from holding party offices or partaking in party committees," the motion reads.

Mr Lennon last month joined fellow former Labor premier Lara Giddings in calling for David O'Byrne to resign from Parliament over his sexual harassment misconduct. Mr O'Byrne claimed the party leadership in June with the backing of the left faction before misconduct allegations were aired, he stepped aside, and the party launched an investigation. Tasmanian Young Labor president Ben Dudman moved the motion regarding lobbyists on Sunday. He conceded that it had been interpreted as targeting Mr Lennon, but he believed it was about "protecting the democracy" of the party. "The simple fact is, in other states, there are bans on lobbyists and property developers from holding party offices and being on party committees," Mr Dudman said.

"I'm not going to comment about Paul Lennon." When shown the Young Labor motion, Mr Lennon had a blunt response. "Rubbish that doesn't concern me at this point," he said.
