May I? this thread may need to know our great lady deputy leader may well have needed a reason for not running for the leadership
See she, good as she is, would not have won
Bigoted men unwilling to vote for a woman leader
Her left position already pledged to Albo, she had her work cut out but she, one day,will make a great Minister

Belly,
You've got a lot of faith in people despite their past !

Doesn't take long for the subject to be changed. It's gone from politicians' work methods to who is going the lead the discredited ALP. OK. It's either Albo or some unknown character - Chalmers, I think the nobody is called.

It has to be Albo; he is a real lefty, but a personable bloke who knows the ropes. It was never going Plebersek, the great abortion champion, who probably knew she never had a chance, given the abysmal, incompetent performances of females in Australian politics.

Who we are, the way we govern,
how we do things - these can all be improved. But if
we want to go further perhaps we need to talk about
reform. Reform is making something better by removal
of faults or errors. People can reform as can
institutions and procedures. When we reform the
reach is deeper and the impact longer lasting.

Reforms however are risky because they take away
or disrupt something that particular people or
interests hold true and having those things replaced
with something they don't like. Also sometimes reforms
don't deliver on their promises. So how you reform is
important.

As we've seen from this election - for reform to be
successful you need to take the people with you
and possibly try not to do too much all of a sudden.
It frightens people. We also need to ensure that change
will be embedded in our structures and systems otherwise
good ideas will inevitably be lost through poor
implementation.

Just to mention a few things - if we could have a limit
on the number of years that MPs serve - this might
encourage new people with new ideas - and get away
from the "club"mentality.

More diverse representation
in pre-selection choices that would represent electorates
better. Another thought - would be having four year
terms instead of three. Placing limits on election
budgets for each candidate. And also more women in
parliament might level the playing field.
It would also be more worthwhile to have Question
Time focused on relevant issues, less repetition
of calculated messages, less toxicity. And the list
goes on.

Scott Morrison made it clear that nothing will change
under his government. That things will remain the same.
One can only hope - that this will not be true.
This is his chance. Lets hope he uses his time in
parliament to all of our advantage. That he like
Hawke was, will be a true reformer.

'Scott Morrison made it clear that nothing will change
under his government.'

yep and if Labour are smart heaps will change under their divisive, ungodly socialist agenda. People want jobs and reliable electricity, retirees don't want to be robbed of money they worked 40 years for and people are sick of gender/race politics. Obviously by going with Albanese Labour have learn't nothing. Reform is only good if it is good reform not regressive socialism and engineering.

indy it would concern me, your effort at slagging off the lady
But see I know it is just another throw away line without connection to truth or fact
She is a clean skin, a good woman who serves us well
