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.''

What is the pejorative his own colleagues call him??  something like all show and no substance? I'm sure it'll come to me or does anybody else know what his own comrades call him.

He's getting out and about and talking to people.  Joe Hockey likes to talk cricket.  Then again he's probably not allowed to discuss anything else.

I like showbags, full of goodies.

Showbags are advertised as being full of goodies. Dazzled by the flash and pop, you buy them.

When you get them home, and pour out the contents, you find that they are less exciting and of much less value than if you had assembled them yourself from items at Coles.

we obviously get different showbags. glad i don't get your ones.
