‘More money, more control’: Paul Murray criticises calls for four-year terms

Sky News host Paul Murray has defended three-year terms for federal politicians amid calls to increase their time in power to four years. Opposition leader Peter Dutton backed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s call for four-year terms in parliament. The call was also supported by former prime minister John Howard. “Even if you have a one-seat majority, you have it for four years; you don’t have it for three years,” Mr Murray said. “If you are in a minority government, you can stitch it together for four years, not three years. “More power, more money, more control.”
