Bill Shorten says he supports further reform of the Labor party so more grassroots members are involved in the preselection of parliamentary candidates.
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese has distanced himself from the Victorian ALP branch's controversial selection of former Health Services Union manager Kimberley Kitching to fill a casual Senate vacancy, arguing the factional deal shows the need for greater democracy within the party.
"The process of change is ongoing. I agree we could look at improving opportunities for people to participate more in the Labor party," Mr Shorten told reporters in Canberra on Wednesday.
