wong senate snub risks factional flare-up, page-6

Wong's demotion on the Senate ticket reflects the internal machinations of Labor's faceless men. Anthony Albanese's outrage is 100% justified!

This the same system that removed Kevin Rudd as leader and the reason Labor MPs should return him to lead the party. If re-installed Rudd would be empowered to put an end to such crap.

Labor needs to move to the direct election by branches to put up candidates for election who genuinely represent them.

Australia needs to move to the direct election of our key political leaders and our key judicial officials so they are accountable directly to us rather than to their party machines.
