    bacci,

    "I would also like to see their central promises in writing, specific deliverables and dates. Electrol contracts drafted by the AEC.
    Failure to deliver being an election trigger."

    similar idea of a contract between the party and the Australian people had been floated below. I think it was considered such a contract is not enforceable for constitutional reasons. Don't forget that political parties have no legal status in federal constitution. If a leader has made a promise to the electorate, and once in government failed to honour that promise, at best if he honours that promise he will resign but his party with a new leader will still be in control of the government.
