Should there be term limits for Senators?
A term limit is a law which limits the length of time a person may serve in an elected office. In Australia there are no term limits for Prime Ministers, Senators or MPs.
@9GBPPS25mos5MO
Senators should be representatives of us, not chosen by the party. If this is the case, there should not be a term limit on the people's demands.
@93FPNVW2yrs2Y
No they should be allowed to represent their state until they want to retire.
@9332WX32yrs2Y
No, but have vote of no confidence to remove officials who are no longer representing the people at large, just their sponsors and "mates".
@92XV4NZ2yrs2Y
No, and decrease their income, benefits and pensions
@92WKXXL2yrs2Y
No, and decrease salary and retirement benefits.
@92TPNKN2yrs2Y
No. However, Australians should be able to vote for early termination if the senate is not performing to the standard or benefiting Australia
@92TP7CJ2yrs2Y
No, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time, decrease their retirement benefits.
@92LW8VF2yrs2Y
Reduce salaries and benefits
@92DQ23S2yrs2Y
No, instead decrease salary and benefits but allow them to be in as long as the public votes them in
@929WYQQIndependent2yrs2Y
No, but de-incentivise retirement benefits above a certain earning threshold
@9288HSL2yrs2Y
In the interests of renewal and ideas, career politicians should not exist. Maximum 3 terms
No but decreased their pay and retirement benefits and allowances
@8ZJG39M2yrs2Y
No, we already have term limits that are called “elections”. Salaries and retirement benefits should be reduced

If they do well and prove to progress. Yes keep them in.
@8KQ7CZJ3yrs3Y
Longer terms 4 years isn’t enough to make any headway 2-300 year plans like China
@8KKPPB33yrs3Y
No, our politicians evict each other frequently enough
@8D2H6GM4yrs4Y
Being a senator is a job is it not? There are elections already that can end your career, and there is the option of retirement. Term limits are dumb.
There should be term limits. Having limits prevents corruption and often allows a younger generation to get into Senate earlier. Some could argue inexperience, but often it is true that a younger person offers a lot more insight into genuine social and environmental issues.
