Labor leader Bill Shorten says Russia's latest sanctions imposed on Australia make him "sick in the guts" and has offered a bipartisan approach to the response.
Russia is banning beef, pork, fruit and vegetable produce, poultry, fish, cheese, milk and dairy products from a number of countries including Australia in retaliation for trade bans imposed over its support for separatists in the Ukraine.
"Do you want to know what I think? Who are they to put sanctions on us?" Mr Shorten told a business summit in Melbourne on Friday.
"They don't have the ... moral authority to do that in the light of what's happened.
"I think that for the Russians to be talking about sanctions against us makes me sick in the guts."
God that's funny! 
(The coveted five laughy-face award)
Here we are Australia as part of coalition of the willing with the EU, UK and USA to put sanctions on Russia with gay abandon, but Mr Shorten can't stomach the fact Russia would in turn use the sanction game against us. Hello??!!!
Get with the program Mr Shorten. That's the sort of **bleep** for tat game that happens out there in real world politics!
