Although that was definitely a laughable interview that reminds one of a Yes Minister episode, it was definitely nowhere near as poor a performance as Tony Abbott's. Click on the interview with Tony Abbott on the right hand side, centre row that you will see at the end of the Bill Shorten interview and you will see a much more worrying effort. At least Bill Shorten never deliberatly lied in his interview.
Additionally, Mr Abbott's comments about the Mining Tax destroying all mining companies in Australia become extremely laughable when you analyse the figures for how much the tax has raised.

Admittedly I do wish that members would speak up when they disagreed with party policy.. but this is party politics and one of the weaknesses of the system in my eyes. There is no way that Bill Shorten was going to speak against Julia, no matter what. Really, it did not matter what her viewpoint was - he had to back it!
He certainly came across as a tool though admittedly.bulldogproud2 wrote:To follow a government's policies blindly without thinking about whether they are correct or not requires a person to not think for themselves but to basically be a puppet of the government. This is exactly how totalitarian regimes operate and what allowed Nazi Germany to flourish.
Members of the government generally are puppets of the government!! Unusual for a person to go against themselves!!
Your point is.. Jimmy??
