Mr Shorten on the current Galah's

Below is from the SMH, 4th of Feb.

He said the decision to rebuff SPC was typical of a government that knew the price of everything but the value of nothing.

''Joe Hockey and [Industrial Relations Minister] Eric Abetz think that manual labour is a Spanish tennis star,'' he said in Shepparton. ''They have never seen a blue collar job they would ever fight for.

''What is the difference between a Cadbury worker in Hobart and a cannery worker in Shepparton? I'll tell you the difference, Shepparton is a safe [Liberal] seat.

''Here is a message to the Abbott government, stop scapegoating people on $60,000 and $70,000 when you are on a quarter of a million.

''What a cheeky bunch they are.''

Unfortunately for Labor Bill hasn't cut through & there's dissatisfaction with his daily & transparent blurbs.

Will Bill last? only at the behest of the unions so nothing's changed for Labor & all that ever has to be regurgitated is the border failures of Labor & Bill will sink along with his unfortunate party.

I think it's interesting that he said $60-70,000 when Sharman Stone had said most earn about $45-50,000.

Most would be earning a lot less than $60,000.

mmmmmmmmmmm of course it will be much better when everything has been sold off to the highest bidder, jobs were a thing of the past, australian manufacturing is all but a memory, the disadvantaged are out on the street - but at least  "our borders are protected" - so all will be well.
