Bill Shorten believes Peter Dutton's work-from-home policy backflip will cost him at election time

Peter Dutton had a rough week on the policy front but it might be matters instigated abroad that truly cause him pain at the polling booth.

The best #PM we never had.

#BillShorten conferred as University of Canberra VC

“We can make a difference. We start by ensuring our campus is safe. It must be safe for everybody. There are natural freedoms, but there must be respect. You can debate & have any idea you like, but there is no place for #antisemitism, #racism, #homophobia, #misogyny. We have to nourish our #democracy & safeguard our pluralist society.” #auspol

#BillShorten criticised the Coalition’s nuclear plan:

“The culture wars don’t help reduce the price of goods or help people get into housing …

And just last bit of free advice, Pete … is this gold plated, #nuclear taxpayer-funded #fantasy yours?

I’ve been doing the maths in my head last night. There are children not yet born … who are going to have to pay taxes for the next 50 years to pay for [this].”

#Spud Dutton hit back: “how many goodbyes to Bill do we have to have?”

@caity Thank you for sharing your story and support for #arttherapy. As a registered music therapist we are in the fight of our lives and stand in solidarity with our art therapy colleagues who are receiving the same harmful treatment at the hands of the #ndia. No consultation, no justification, no transparency. #billshorten must reverse the appalling decision to remove these creative arts therapies from ndis therapeutic supports.

Bill Shorten says the #Greens "create anxiety". I am a member of the Greens. I am not interested in making anyone anxious. I work to make Greens policy rational, peaceful and just.

Bill: Approving new hydrocarbon mines scares the living shit out of me. Playing nuclear footsies with a Trumpian USA scares the remaining shit (whatever I retained subsequent to first thing) into orbit.

Fix your own before criticising mine.
