I’m not against longer terms, but I don’t feel it’s a priority, or worth a referendum at this time.
Comment on Dutton flip-flops on proposals for three separate referendums if Coalition wins election
Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 weeks agoI support longer terms. Every 3 years is ridiculous and forces governments to constantly be paying attention to their latest polling numbers rather than focused on delivering the best policy. In fact, I would support every 5 years, with 10 year Senate terms.
The LNP’s proposal was for recognition, nothing more. They don’t even pretend it’ll have any real benefit. They want to be able to say “look, we recognise them!” While not actually doing anything to help Indigenous Australians today.

I’d be happy with four and eight year terms. Personally, I think the UK has shown why five years is pushing too far the other direction.
