An excellent letter to the editor in todays Australian Newspaper....

'One may agree or disagree with the views of the right and left, but at least they have core beliefs driving their convictions. In contrast we have the phoniness of Bill Shorten. In one breath he calls Donald Trump's policies "barking mad" then, after he see's Trumps success, decides to go down his path of protectionism and nativism. Shorten has no core beliefs or principals ' (or ethics - my add in) 'other than doing whatever the polls will tell him will get votes'.

One can't argue with any of that!

While I agree 100% with your post and do not like Shorten or labor,
we all should acknowledge he is doing a very good job of "campaigning".
He looks presentable and pleasant, is articulate, and the ABC has him on all the time.

He ran rings around Turnbull and the Libs at the last election.
Turnbull was very lucky he went into that election with a huge majority.
Even then......he was very lucky to scrape home.

Shorten continues to outshine Turnbull and the Libs on a daily basis.
He is obviously being well managed and orchestrated.
Labor doing far better than the Libs in managing public perception.

And while the rusted on Libs can criticise him on all sorts of issues,
and complain about media bias,
Shorten is a vote winner.
To deny this is to ignore the politics facts of life.

I believe he will be PM after the next election.

I hope I'm wrong.
