The member for Hunter Joel Fitzgibbon says Kevin Rudd’s leadership changes were a mistake, the changes require all rank and file members to have their say on a leadership challenge. The rules were implemented to stop the revolving door of leaders.
The Labor party is faced with a leader who would better serve the Greens than he does the traditional Labor voter, and no one can stop him because it’s almost impossible to win a leadership spill under the current rules.
“I think it was a mistake. Arguably you can’t have too much democracy, we have to be a democratic party, we have to give the members a say, but I think that, you know, when thinking about leadership you don’t want a populist.”
Joel Fitzgibbon told Sky News’ Sunday Agenda
Labor has a huge problem and it can’t be solved before the next election, and it’s going to take a long time before the voters can trust Labor again.
Anthony Albanese has taken the party down the green road and only a devastating loss at the next election can stop him.
