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.

@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.

A zinger master, a diorama maker and a telephone juggler, Bill Shorten has left his mark

Though his communication skills were acquired rather than innate, Shorten's departure will leave Labor bereft of one of its sharpest advocates.

@treleanor Bill Shorten, former Labor leader, was crucified by the Murdoch media when he sought to reform negative gearing and franking credits – reforms that would have helped millions of Australians. Now, as Shorten announces his retirement from politics to take a top job at the University of Canberra, we face a nation where homelessness is rampant, and a few wealthy individuals continue to rake it in. It’s time to reflect on how media power manipulates public opinion and stifles meaningful change. #BillShorten #MurdochMedia #PoliticalManipulation #WealthInequality #HomelessnessCrisis #Auspol
