Hi JCoure imo if you are correct that Bill Shorten is the only thing going for the govt then the govt imo is definitely kaput! If the govt is so bereft of talent and good policy that they have to rely on the Shorten factor, then they don’t deserve re-election. The govt has thrown everything at Shorten prior to the 2016 election and since and that strategy has clearly failed.
The voters want policy that improves their lot. They want economic security not insecurity. They want affordable housing, security of employment, fair wages, a fair go for our pensioners as well as first class education and health systems that are accessible to all. They also want a fair price for our resources and for adequate taxes and royalties to be paid by the multi-nationals. Thats where the focus needs to be instead of being lazy and trying to get in through the back door by smear campaigns against the Leader of the Opposition, a strategy which has failed anyway!
