ttbn,

I just knew we had more in common than either of
us realised. (smile).

And you could be spot on about those websites.

The Daily Telegraph denies Bill's claims and rightly pointed out that his mother had achieved prominence in academia before she decided to do a law degree, she had been a teacher, school principal, got her Master's and went on to achieve a PhD and was a university lecturer.

One gets the impression that she did her Law Degree when she wanted to do it and what is more achieved distinction when she did so.

Bill is good at the crocodile tears.

Is Mise,

You obviously did not read the link I gave and one
which you asked me for.

I took your request seriously.
Silly me.

It seems - all you wanted was an opportunity to
slag off on Bill Shorten and discredit both him
and his his mother.

The Daily Telegraph did not print the truth.

This is clearly explained in many sites on the
web.

Yet you took this opportunity to get your two cents
worth.

How pathetic is that.

Anyone who takes advantage of not acknowledging a parent's achievement is lacking what it takes to be a decent person.

Foxy,

I did read the link and it confirms what was said in the Telegraph.
Bill Shorten sold his mother's achievements short to try for a political point.

"Shorten was provoked into the most personal and powerful moment of the campaign – the moment when his voice choked and his eyes filled with tears at the memory of his mother’s unrealised ambitions."

What unrealized ambitions?

Batchelor of Arts, Master of Arts, Doctor of Philosophy, University lecturer and a Law Degree followe by successful practice of Law.

Seems rather a fulfilling career to me.

Not like the 'Happy Clapper' who had the cameras in the Temple filming him singing 'Kumbaya' or something, while jumping around like a dog with fleas, Then tells everyone to keep religion out of politics.
