Opposition Leader called four-year terms for Australian federal parliament.
Sunday morning, Mr Shorten told the ABC's Insiders program the current system was stifling reform, and federal parliaments should run for a fixed term of four years instead.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has signalled he may be open to fixed four-year terms for federal parliament after Opposition Leader Bill Shorten renewed his call for an overhaul of Australia's electoral system.
At the moment federal parliaments only run for up to three years and prime ministers have broad powers to call elections when they please.
