    The Green Party says it's time for cross-party consensus on improving our electoral system

    The Green Party says it's time for cross-party consensus on improving our electoral system


    It follows a raft of changes recommended by the Independent Electoral Review Panel -- such as capping political donations, lowering the voting age to 16 and holding a referendum on four-year parliamentary terms.

    Green's Golriz Ghahraman says they support the report in its entirety.

    She says most of the recommendations have come from previous reviews or court hearings, so it's definitely time for all political parties to commit to implementing them. 06-06-23 1430
