Given the Pin Up Boy -- Bull Shorten is devoid of any constructive policy to GROW the Australian economy , he is seen here for what he is ---an ALP Leadership Fraud.
Like so many ALP leaders he avoids like the plague to make constructive policy suggestions to the people of Australia -- he is incapable along with his party of being constructive in any way.

Time to get cracking. We need to scramble if we don’t want to get a whole lot poorer fast:
Outgoing Treasury Secretary Martin Parkinson has issued an urgent call for corporate and personal tax cuts, warning that our tax system is stuck in the 1950s and that Australians’ standard of living will collapse without reform…
“ ... (U)nless we tackle structural reform, including fixing our fundamental budget problem, we will not be able to guarantee rising income and living standards for Australians."…
High corporate and personal tax rates are the key priorities for reform, he said, as inflation pulls the average wage earner into Australia’s second-highest tax bracket over the next decade and corporate tax rates fall globally.
Just to say that our tax rates are too high is to get that sinking feeling. How on earth can that argument be successfully run when the culture and the political opportunists are all against it?
Dr Parkinson acknowledged the difficulty in winning the “hearts and minds” of Australians in arguing for corporate tax cuts, but said that work done by Treasury showed “about half of all the benefit of a corporate income tax cut flow back relatively seamlessly towards employees ...
Good luck with that argument. It simply cannot be won unless Labor acknowledges the truth of it and fights to save Australia, rather than to destroy Tony Abbott.
Attack the Abbott Government all you like - and I have - but Labor is the true barrier to saving this country from the crash to come. If you doubt it, then listen again to Bill Shorten last night refusing to admit the plain truth that we are spending more than we now afford on health and welfare.
It would very much help the Abbott Government’s case to drop its paid parental leave scheme. That would not just avoid yet another humiliating Senate battle but would demonstrate that, yes indeed, the money truly is gone. It would then deny Labor the cheap comeback it’s exploited for a year, the one Shorten trotted out yet again last night:
You’ve said what would you do? ... Well here’s some options where Tony Abbott doesn’t even have to go to an election on. He could do these tomorrow. Dump his paid parental leave scheme, which is billions of dollars ...
Why does the Government keep offering Labor this free kick?
Just get the topic every time to Labor’s dangerous irresponsibility - both in office and now. A little scrutiny is enough to have Shorten struggling for more than three words:
BILL SHORTEN: Yes, the concepts you’re asking are about sufficiently important. I just can’t give you a three-word slogan… you go for growth ... we’ve got to go for growth.... you go for growth… The only way this country will get ahead is by inclusive growth.... you can have inclusive growth ...
Which party - other than the Greens - doesn’t want growth? LABOR The aim is shared. It’s wishing the means that’s the problem
shorten is looking a lot like pyne 
did he have a makeover i suppose
its a slight improvement..

That is below the belt and a last resort for those who can't argue their position to then attack someone's disability. While his speech impediment is only a mild disability, it is obviously something he has no control over. Attack his policies by all means.
Now I see it's Andrew Bolt. Says it all. What a lowlife he is.
