        @LesStonehouse @BellaFlokarti This is not a fair article PVO. There is such incredible crime and deceit being used by LNP and you sit and type about Bill and his way to be opp leader Take some time to look at the front bench of the LNP AND TELL ME THEY HAVE CLEAN HANDS !!!

        PVO always puts an unusual twist to a story. He just likes to be different... We don't know yet but Shorten could be one of the best Prime Minister for over 50 years, could be there for possibly 4 terms only time will tell #auspol

        OMG what nonsense, Tony Abbott's obstructive behaviour as opposition leader started the rot. On all accounts Rudd was not a good leader then undermined Gillard. Abbott was a terrible PM driven by flawed ideology rather than a desire to improve the country - and now we have Mal

        Write what you like. Bill Shorten will be the next elected Prime Minister of Australia. LNP is as desirable as Don Burke at a pyjama party.

        Vote for Poorleen Hasbeen or Democrat Di-Na-Tar-Lay then. Bill Shorten & The Australian Labor Party are the only leader & political party that can govern for the majority of Australians fairly. Or you could stick with the same old gaslit formula. #auspol #enoughisenoughpic.twitter.com/5bE1V3Wgij

        So spot on from my perspective. He has been the master of manipulation, opportunism and campaign spin.

        Haven’t read the article but the fact Shorten hasn’t told @samdastyari to find a new career would suggest Dasher has got plenty of dirt on Shorty.
