]I think - I hope - Left-leaning (and centrist) voters realise that Shorten is the first Labor leader since Keating to have both the guts and the political capital to seriously address the injustices in our tax system.
As one of those lef-leaning voters, it is Shorten’s loathing of economic and cultural elitism that I share. I yearn for a return of the promise of a truly egalitarian Australia, instead of the alarmingly unsustainable and growing chasm between the mink-and-manure set, and those the system is leaving behind.
It is therefore quite galling that there are some people who claim to support Shorten, and yet display the sort of elitist attitudes which are the exact antithesis of the values for which Shorten stands.
People who boast about voting Labor, but who reallly do so only for the fashionable reason that Labor are not the Liberals; rather than because of a burning passion to stamp out economic and cultural inequality in society.
That is:
The Rudd-ites; the Posers and the Pretenders
