JMK: "...........30,426 Labor Party members - a 74% turnout - has changed our great Party forever and is already making us stronger. Since the leadership campaign started more than 4,500 people have said they want to join Labor........"

Michael Pearce  a Melbourne lawyer who has been a member of the Labor Party since 1976.
"Is this the modern Labor Party: a hollowed-out institution lacking any coherent and relevant ideology, propped up by the increasingly marginalised trade union movement with a dwindling active membership. Can anything be salvaged from it, or is it time to say the party is over? This is the real, existential question that the ALP and its members need to ask."


I must admit Shorten is at least a modern centre/centre/right politician who would be my choice, and lets face it someone (anyone) who is their own person would be preferable to the now gone Sensitive New Age  Puppet Minister.

The caucus ballot was always to have a 50% say in the final result with Labor's membership of around 40,000 counting for 50% of the outcome.

Because they do not understand that % of one lot and % of another lot, should not be added together.  If I have bag of apples and 60% of them are green and  bag of bananas and 45% are green, that does not mean that 105% of my fruit is green.
