Shorten was free range, all over the place wivv a speech impediment answering a host of Dorothy Dixers.

Just what is he going to do about the 'dumb question' of emissions abatement cost to the budget, or the Makarrata charter, or the gig-economy for example, other than the platitudes he gave? Who knows, but he sounded expansive with an "it's the vibe, it's the vibe, it's the vibe" appeal, without detail. It's probably all he needs to get in, he reckons, and detail will unravel as it happens, along with his government.

Fantasyland comments will change nothing
This government is having a near death experience
It can praise Sconmo all it likes but the very real problem is if you vote for Scomo you get Scomo

Steve Cates, writing about the latest example of “.... how vile the left is for our political institutions”, and how they are the cause of most avoidable problems in the world (Catallaxy Files), predicts that the idiot who assaulted (she has been charged with common assault) the Prime Minister, says this feral female has made Australia a worse place to live. She will be set free with a token fine, or a few hours of public service - encouraging more violent attacks on politicians with weapons much more dangerous than eggs.

The Left has really lowered the tone of politics and heralded a possible change to the way that politicians campaign: from being able to walk among people freely without fear, to staying away from their constituents, behind barricades and heavy security as happens in the sort of countries the Left wants to turn Australia into.

Dear Luciferase,

You were that kind of kid in school weren't you, picking on the kids with a lisp, or with a stutter or any other impediment. Unlikely to have confronted them personally though, just behind their back, or a quiet snicker as they passed.

Grow up.

Talking about how vile things have gotten?

Vile indeed - Scott Morrison chooses to have
Bill Shorten's picture and unflattering comments
going around suburbs in Melbourne yet he is scared
to face audiences in a debate on Q&A.

Kevin Andrews
doesn't make appearances in his electorate unless
he's surrounded heavily by protective staffers
and he only does that prior to elections.

Then
there's the preference deals with Clive Palmer's UAP
and One Nation - smacking of sheer desperation.

No wonder eggs get thrown by frustrated voters.

This isn't a schoolyard issue.

This chap wants to represent us on the world stage and should do us the honour of doing it with less cringe-worthy elocution, "King's Speech" and all that. It's not a disability and not that hard to change.

I've no idea why you'd defend this, frankly, SR. He's got far bigger issues his supporters should defending that he won't.

For starters you could explain what he means by the cost of emissions abatement being a 'dumb question'. Does asking it make a person 'dumb' in Shorten's Australia, and worthy only of a schoolyard bully's response? Grow up yourself, and stop being Shorten's useful idiot.
