26.4 Bruce McIver on Party Democracy and 4 Year Fixed Terms for MPs
Channel: Dave Pellowe
Date: 25/07/2017

The NSW Liberal Party members voted overwhelmingly for Tony Abbott's motion to improve the representative democracy of their state party preselections, something with Bruce McIver supports strongly, and implemented at the amalgamation of the Qld Liberal and National parties.

We debate the pros and cons of Bill Shorten's initiative to change federal MP terms to fixed, four year terms, and its impact on government, business and the constitution.

There aren't many politicians in Australia who don't answer the phone when Bruce McIver calls. The founding and immediate past President of the Qld Liberal National Party (LNP), Bruce oversaw the unification of two troubled parties, as well as the landslide victory and then defeat of the Campbell Newman LNP Government. He disagrees that the Coalition is becoming increasingly progressive or is to blame for astronomical national debt and spending.
