REFORMS to the Labor Party will end the ridiculous reality TV culture where poor polling led to the leader having their head chopped off, Foreign Minister Bob Carr says.
Senator Carr, Labor leader in NSW for 17 years, said many times he was struggling in the polls, but the party was mature enough to accept they had to stick with him for the long haul.
Under the proposed reforms outlined by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on Monday, a successful Labor leader who takes the party to electoral victory can't be toppled during a term of government, as happened to him at the hand of Julia Gillard in 2010 to Julia Gillard by him last month.
Following election defeats, there'll be a leadership ballot with a weighting of 50 per cent of votes by Labor Party members and 50 per cent by Labor MPs.
Senator Carr termed the removal of Mr Rudd in 2010 as "a sort of biggest loser reality TV psychology that said 'our leading contestant has slipped in the ratings, we are going to chop his head off and bring in someone else'."
He said ending that absurdist culture was very helpful, as was giving rank and file party members something they would value.
"All political parties are in decline. This could be an important step in rejuvenating Labor Party rank and file life," he said.
