Are Macklin & Bracks on track? Labor elders Jenny Macklin and Steve Bracks participated in a public forum hosted by Open Labor, the Independents, Per Capita and the John Cain Centre for Democracy 23 Sept 2020.
The forum was a show case of what online technology can do for democracy, following on from the Melbourne FEA on-line panel 22 September, hosted by the Socialist Left.
Jenny and Steve briefly presented their considerations in the reform discussion paper. Katherine Cozens and James Button and from Open Labor and Eric Dearricott from the Independents provided their views of what needs to be done and progress to date, the audience chatted at speed, and Emma Dawson of Per Capita hosts the audience discussion arising.
Read presentations from Katherine Cozens, For a stronger more democratic ALP, and James Button, Why hard times for our party might give us hope.
