He retired in December 2018 after serving 16 years in four consecutive terms. Jude has travelled to UK and Europe and undertaken studies on Economic Democracy. His reports are available at the Victorian parliamentary library.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
