The Panel with Rodney Hide and Ali Mau (Part 2)
A report has suggested that longer parliamentary terms would enable the Government to better look at issues long term, and avoid what some call the "short term-ism" that can afflict policy making. The report out called "Foresight, insight and oversight - enhancing long term governance through better parliamentary scrutiny", looks at the quality of long term decision making. Also suggested was an increase of MPs from 120 to 150. Co-author of the study Jonathan Boston explains the reasons behind the recommendations. Would you support a move to a four year parliamentary term? Why or why not? A new fundraising page for Israel Folau has raised $1.7 million dollars to fight his unfair dismissal case. That figure doesn't include the $100,000 the Australian Christian Lobby pledged to the fundraiser it is hosting on its website. The group's managing director tweeted a link to the fundraiser saying they were supporting Israel Folau because quote "it sets an important legal precendent". The panellists discuss the latest in the case.
