listener daniel asks: why do we still have 3 year terms for the prime minister. i know albo has pushed for 4 years but even then, i feel like that isn’t enough. it encourages short sighted plans because its results driven so they can get re-elected. but 3-4 years sometimes isn’t enough if you really want to plan for proper change. could a 6 year term work?
