How Politics Should Be

First of all, Thank you to the AMWU - Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union in Carlton for hosting us in discussing a broad range of reforms to be taken to the Vic Labor State Conference.
Currently there is a focus on Youth and addressing a lot of the Youth Crime issues we're facing by raising solution based responses not reactive.

A broader focus on health especially in marginalised communities such as Western Suburbs and other fringe municipalities and how we can make a difference for the better in people's lives.

Well done and congratulations to all involved and thank you to all the policy committees for coming Together and breaking down some of the older silo approaches.
We ALL need to work together for the greater good beyond factions, beyond kliqs, beyond personal beliefs and views.

We're all here to serve our state and our nation and more importantly, the community.

A United Position

Factions for a long part have been how things in politics across the world have been done but those days are over and it is time to establish a new model to politics and government. collaborative and conversations covered today and notably faction light. Long time political buffs will remember when Left and Right warred over every comma.

Today we put an end to this and start to chart a new path forward with agreed focus, a focus on community outcomes and serving the community.

It would be easy to dismiss the absence of old‑fashioned brawling as a quirk of a single Saturday, yet the trend has been visible for years. Rule changes adopted across several state branches have opened policy development to any rank‑and‑file member via hybrid or fully online meetings, forcing former gatekeepers to share oxygen with all members.

Outcomes focused

The gravitational pull of rigid factional blocs is weakening, replaced by ad‑hoc issue networks that form and dissolve depending on the topic at hand.

Two structural shifts are driving the change. First, voters themselves are fleeing traditional groupings. The most recent federal poll showed primary support for both major parties tracking below 70 % combined, with the cross‑bench swelling. Analysts at the ABC have warned that the electoral market is “splintering,” and that parties which cling to factional carve ups risk irrelevance.

In response we are mixing things up moving away from old silos and focusing on coming together united for outcomes and delivering for out state, nation and community as that is the reason why we are all here.

Let me know your thoughts below, do you think this is a better model and method?
