Steve Cannane: Now, I’m not sure what Bill Shorten was relying on for those figures. He’s never actually told us what the evidence is that suddenly that industry would all fall apart.

lol, lmao even

Yeah for real. I really wish this weren't only available in audio form, because he absolutely wrecked them with that one. More people need to be able to see this to call Labor to account.

Unfortunately all the witty repartee in the world won't alter the fundamental logic of capital. These ghouls are bought and paid for, they profit from our misery. Why would they fix it?

If they're lucky one, maybe two idealistically motivate policies survive a career in party politics.
