        We need MP's who can do the job. No women in the Parliament to fill some quota. Another reason not to elect Bill.

        When he says sorry for ripping off the cleaners in Vic under his stewardship as union leader then I may respect him

        OMG The @australian is just lapping this up .... he's an #Australian #politician ... were you expecting him to say 'I wish I had put more in the #Union slush fund?' or 'I wish I'd been more discreet about how I screwed young workers with deals?' PLEASE, this is publicity!!

        Bill will have even more regret his current performance. He has been gifted the next government by the disarray amongst the Libs not to mention Nats. Yet. @billshortenmp keeps on reminding us that hi is subservientant of the lawless union leadership and the intellectual ellite.

        The media’s really pushing for Shorten, maybe it is time labour started taking responsibility for the nightmare of NDIS. Anybody but Shorten.

        That is somewhat disingenuous given that most unions elect their officers....
