The ALP National Executive is setting up an interim governance committee to oversee the Victorian Labor Party. Since most ALP members aren't in a faction, it'd be sensible to have at least one non-factional person on the committee https://t.co/ZYsI3VmzRz @OpenLabor #auspol

Ordinary ⁦members are being shut out of the ⁦@VictorianLabor⁩ reform process. Read and sign our letter to ALP National Secretary ⁦@PaulEErickson⁩ calling for a non-factional member on the new Interim Governance Committee. #springst #auspol https://t.co/J0vGswWCKW

Read former ALP staffer David Barda's take on previous Labor reform reports from 1964-2014. Spoiler alert: they all recommended the very changes many members are still calling for after all these years. #thisislabor #springst https://t.co/4FXh9atiEi

[Open Labor @openlabor]

ALP rules enshrine a secret ballot, yet factions make their delegates hand over or show their votes to ensure the factional line is held. Does this violate democracy or does it ensure voters get outcomes they want? Join the debate at https://t.co/wYig6a9xZR. #viclabor #springst
