Macklin-Bracks hand over administration of the Victorian Labor Party to the Interim Governance Committee. Open Labor thanks them for their important work.
We welcome Party Monitor John Thwaites, and congratulate the Interim Governance Committee on their appointment. They have a critical task, and we look forward to engaging with them.
As Macklin-Bracks hand over administration, there will be a new seven-member Branch Consultative Committee to provide advice and policy direction to the Interim Governance Committee as the party transitions to one branch per state seat. The committee will last about a year.
Open Labor will keep advocating for increased representation, democracy and transparency in the Victorian Labor Party.

Steve Bracks & Jenny Macklin
