Setting the policy agenda and acting like a statesman are two distinct areas that need not necessarily go together.

Abbott had neither a head for policy nor the temperament of a statesman. I think Shorten - while unlikely to pull stunts like whining about domestic partisan politics during speeches to international leaders as Abbott did - is nonetheless too ruthless and cynical to be considered statesmanlike; however, he did lead from the front policy-wise during the election campaign, and given Malcolm's flip-flopping tendencies so far, I'd expect him to continue in that mould going forward.

Let go of Abbott ... Shorten is Opposition Leader and Turnbull is Prime Minister ... lets not live in the past eh!

Imo, the nation is over the Abbott induced era of political dissent. If Shorten follows suit, it will burn his chances imo.
