Australian slang shorthand for a delegate — the person sent to represent a group at a conference, union meeting, or industry event. Like most Aussie abbreviations, it trims the word right down to its essentials and slaps an 'o' on the end. You'll hear it in union halls, trade associations, and conference centres across the country. Casual, efficient, and very Australian.
