Thank you for your contribution. This ThinkTank is now closed whilst the review panel makes it's recomendations. We will keep you updated on its progress.
Following the 2010 federal election, it is more important than ever for Labor to look at how we can improve our Party so that it continues to campaign effectively, but also represents the views and aspirations of progressive Australians.
So that we can properly do this as a Party, Australian Labor have appointed three senior leaders in the Labor Party to conduct a thorough review of the Party and to make recommendations for how we can improve our work and community connections.
You can read about the review and how to make a formal submission at the Review2010 Website.
LaborConnect will be making a submission to Review2010 and we invite all LaborConnect members to participate in that submission here at ThinkTank.
Specifically, the submission from LaborConnect will focus on the following reference points.
- The relationship between the Party campaign and other progressive campaigns, including those of affiliated trade unions.
- The need to review and modernise Labor’s Platform with particular reference to giving the Party a more clearly articulated vision and purpose in the 21st Century.
- The need to improve dialogue and engagement between progressive Australians and the Party, including progressive third party organisations.
And in particular;
- The need to broaden participation in the Party to ensure a greater say for members, supporters and stakeholders.
Your idea should be about new ways for Party members and the community to engage and participate in the modern Australian Labor Party.
What are your ideas for a modern Australian Labor?
