An Open Government
The State Labor Government has revitalised our State’s democratic institutions. We have introduced fixed four-year terms for both the Lower and Upper Houses of the Victorian Parliament – making MPs more accountable to their electorates. We have reformed Victoria’s Upper House – the Legislative Council – to make it more representative.
In April 2005, the State Labor Government released A Fairer Victoria, a blueprint to improve access to vital services, reduce barriers to opportunity and strengthen assistance for disadvantaged groups and places.
