Shorten might be enjoying the limelight for now but sooner or later his chickens will come home to roost.

I note that within a week from today it will be the 50th anniversary of Labor's decision to flip on the White Australia policy. Whitlam effectively pushing the old guardian Calwell towards the door.

Amazing how Keating ran rings around his opponents and he never got past high school.

You see Kerry O'Brian has joined the chorus for someone like him to step up and take back parliament from the beige people? Kerry has mastered a doco on Paul.
Meanwhile you can relive Paul's years on the facebook site https://www.facebook.com/groups/28819960090/

Good idea or not ?
Personally I don't think so.

Looks like the election campaign has started.

Yeah..Yeah.....$37 billion over 10 years......no worries Bill...just borrow more and get us deeper into debt.
Poor old barnacle Bill is desperate...He will do and say anything to con the naive.:horse:
Perhaps barnacle Bill should take some notice of David Uren in today's Australian.

Labor is in denial over the state of the budget. For the past two years, it has argued the problem with the budget is not the level of spending but the weakness of revenue.
Accordingly, it has announced a number of revenue-raising measures including increasing tobacco taxes, superannuation taxes and company taxes. It has now gone out and spent the lot.
Labor is hardly alone in finding it impossible to resist the itch to spend. The childcare package announced in last year’s budget is funded by savings measures intended to help reduce the deficit.
But Labor has blocked dozens of savings measures proposed by the government and made no meaningful contribution to controlling the growth of spending.
The Gonski school funding, like the National Disability Insurance Scheme, was announced with a fanfare in Wayne Swan’s last budget in 2013-14. Savings announced as deficit-reduction measures were repurposed as school and disability funding measures. You cannot both spend and save the same money.
That budget promised to get the government’s finances back to surplus by 2015-16. But the reality was it delivered yet another mega-deficit. There have been more since and, with further deterioration in the outlook since last month’s budget update, there is no end in sight to the run of deficits.
The simple point is that when the budget is in deficit, all new spending is financed by an increase in debt. Cuts to one program might slow the growth in spending and the rate at which the debt increases, but they do not make the cost of new programs disappear. When you are in a hole, stop digging.
Australia is still a relatively low- debt country, but that is changing rapidly. This is a problem. It is a burden on the young households that will eventually have to pay for it. It is wasteful, exposes the nation to interest rate increases, and puts its future at the mercy of fickle global financial markets.

Why should he, they are class enemies.
Bill will never learn and that is why he has such low ratings with voters.....They are well and truly awake to barnacle Bill....His initials BS are well suited to him.

It seems all you can do is play the hate card, why not discuss policy sometime ?
What policy?......Labor has no policies to discuss......Bill's year of ideas in 2015 has long past.....nothing happened.....Anybody can be a big spender like the Gonski education scheme so long as the money is there....
Perhaps Bill is in dream land with that money tree down behind parliament house.

The LNP changed its similarly stupid policies the day Turnbull took over, so policies don't seem to locked into any particular time constraint. Now we have homosexuality front and centre as the preferred orientation and all men are being vilified as potential wife beaters ... fantastic policies
Yes plenty of rhetoric from barnacle Bill without substance...Talk is cheap but he does not state how it will all be paid for and this is where the naive fall into his trap....Typical of Labor.

I can only assume Kevin advised Bill that he had more important things to do.

IIRC, Julia Gillard was good at attracting food on school visits.
