Labor Ruined Themselves

[silverfaun]

Will Shorten have the inner strength to do this or will it be business as usual.

Papering over the massive problems they have and tinkering around the edges, to fool the voters that they have really changed and have the wellbeing of Australians at heart,  rather than worrying about themselves and their own jobs.

A self centred and odorous malaise they have been wallowing  in for the last 6 years.

It's taken seven long months watching Labor carry on as if they hadn't lost the election, clinging onto failed policies and acting like spoiled children in Parliament.

It has been the blind leading the blind and don't mention the loss.

It’s not easy to say, but we did it to ourselves, says Bill Shorten

BILL Shorten says Labor must face some “hard truths”, as he gears up to campaign for party reforms that he believes will lure back voters after the party saw its primary vote tumble to a historic low of 21.8 per cent in the re-run of the West Australian Senate election.

The Opposition Leader says Labor needs to take responsibility for last year’s election defeat and make sweeping changes if it is to return to government.

Mr Shorten believes Labor’s troubles go deeper than having an image problem or trouble selling its message.

“It is more serious than this,” he says in a rallying call to Labor supporters.

“We need to change ourselves. We need to change our party.

“Today is a day for facing up to some hard truths. Some of this won’t be easy to hear — not all of it is easy for me to say. Tony Abbott did not put Labor in opposition; the Australian people put us here.

“And unless we change it is where we will stay.

its the people speaking not me

i think another hung parliament is not unlikely. any advantage canvas back had is gone,

rusties like him but the public are less keen. i doubt the money wasted on royal commissions will help either. people are simply not that interested,
