The ALP National Executive is setting up an interim governance committee to oversee the Victorian Labor Party. Since most ALP members aren't in a faction, it'd be sensible to have at least one non-factional person on the committee openlabor.net.au/2020/12/08/mem… @OpenLabor #auspol

Ordinary ⁦members are being shut out of the ⁦@VictorianLabor⁩ reform process. Read and sign our letter to ALP National Secretary ⁦@PaulEErickson⁩ calling for a non-factional member on the new Interim Governance Committee. #springst #auspol openlabor.net.au/2020/12/08/mem…
