billshortenmp Not a Labor supporter but hes on the money here.

billshortenmp So we should stop reflecting on the real history of Australia? Good work ALP policy leaders, we will expect the rest of the ALP NPC's to echo the same.

billshortenmp His minders have crunched the numbers and Bill follows the path of most votes. Again.

billshortenmp Only because he has seen the polls.

billshortenmp OK, AU Day is 26th Jan Too much public money is waisted over political debate? Time is money being spent by pollies. No National value gain!

billshortenmp First time I agree with this bloke

billshortenmp Hi billshortenmp please dont tell us what you think we are thinking. You may be over the 'debate' many are NOT. The day will change, eventually and your statement will look silly. AustralianLabor auspol InvasionDay AustraliaDay

billshortenmp for once in my life I agree wiv Bill.....

billshortenmp And I know if I say anything different it will cost me votes!

billshortenmp “There will be no Australia Day date change under a government I lead”.

billshortenmp But as soon as Labor gets in he’ll be pulled by the left and then it will change.

billshortenmp Best thing Bill said all year.

billshortenmp Wow what will the left say Billy?

billshortenmp Bill do you think it’s “This Governments” fault? I mean their responsible for everything else - including the record temperature in Adelaide today! What do you reckon....?

billshortenmp Who cares what you think you are just an opportunist ready to grab onto any controversial issue to attack the government.

billshortenmp For the first and probably last time I agree with Billy. Sure it hurts, but he’s siding with common sense and not leftie terrorists and Green druggies.

billshortenmp That’s the way Shortonbrains, you couldn’t give a rats about Aust day, it’s all about vote grabbing by promising the paid Pub holiday benifit remains for the I want it all for nothing generation.

billshortenmp Rarity - agree with what Bill says

billshortenmp Flog

billshortenmp Oh it's Me Too Bill. Like Morrison he should study some history. Weak as water.

billshortenmp January 26 is Invasion Day...

billshortenmp So would you billshortenmp and Labor give a guarantee that Australia Day will not be moved ?

billshortenmp

billshortenmp Wanker!!

billshortenmp samdastyari celebsam AustralianLabor you have just lost the election in nsw and federal level. Well done. Xie xie.

billshortenmp You are absolutely bonkers if you think celebrating Australia day on a diff day is going to produce any type of positive outcome against the REAL and serious issues that the indigenous community deal with...common sense wins the day, thanks Bill! australia australiaday

billshortenmp Well said

DoNutCentre billshortenmp Yep boycotting this year...Thanks to LiberalAus and the Captain of Cook. Spending time with some Canadian and Brazilian friends instead.... straya!

billshortenmp Weirdly enough, I agree with everything Bill just said

billshortenmp If only we could believe him

billshortenmp Will this promise be similar to the promise that Gillard gave on the Carbon tax? 'Their will be no Carbon tax on the government I lead' ....

billshortenmp Ensure police restrict entry to all Australia Day functions at 50% women and 50% men, Bill.

billshortenmp Thanks scomo.

billshortenmp Means test Australia Day Bill. The top end of town should not be allowed to celebrate Aus day. 🙃

billshortenmp To be fair. That’s probably the best I’ve ever heard shorten speak.

billshortenmp Nobody would be discussing 'Changing the Date' if Aboriginal Australians had the Social Justice they deserve. The only reason we are is because the date is symbolic of the CONTINUED disenfranchisement of Australia's first people.

billshortenmp Shorten full of crap as usual claims to love Australia Day because it’s a public holiday, hardly a patriotic response from someone seeking the PM’ship. The ‘change the date’ brigade are aligned to his party perhaps he needs to tell them to pull their head in.

billshortenmp Thanks Bill. Out of all your populist bullshit at least we can agree on this.

billshortenmp A distraction created by a destructive PM. Leave it alone Bill

billshortenmp The only people “debating” the changing of the date of Australia Day are the “proud lefties ” (many of them probably going to vote for you... )

billshortenmp Yeah a commitment. Keep going Bill. Don’t worry about anything else except what you are going to do. Show us why we should vote for you.

billshortenmp This is the first time he has ever made sense

billshortenmp Bs artist

billshortenmp billshortenmp Bill Shorten MP : I love Australia Day, but I’m getting a bit over the Australia Day debates. I think the nation is too … The public holiday is not going to change. Australia Day newsday AustraliaDay

billshortenmp billshortenmp Bill Shorten MP : I love Australia Day, but I’m getting a bit over the Australia Day debates. I think the nation is too … The public holiday is not going to change. Australia Day newsday AustraliaDay

billshortenmp He has realised if we wants to win the election he has to gauge what the public wants

billshortenmp Then tell your mates the Green to shut up

billshortenmp Straight to the point. No waffle. No maybe. Concise credible leadership. Next PM

billshortenmp Says you little Bill after sitting on the fence to see which way the wind would blow!! Hilarious!!

billshortenmp What about Us The People work 3 days a week...

billshortenmp Traitor

billshortenmp 👍finally the governments pathetic predictable confected annual outrage called out for what it is meaningless distraction I agree with Bill get on with legislating what’s important

billshortenmp White man talks with forked tongue. Australia Day doesn’t always fall on a Public Holiday.

billshortenmp His lying his lips are moving.

billshortenmp Tell that to the greens bill if you really believe it.

billshortenmp First thing I agree with. Seems like Labor is getting a little bit serious now in election year.

billshortenmp Gives an opinion on an issue and then goes into full election mode in one breath. Bless our politicians.

billshortenmp Incorrect. It IS going to change. It's inevitable and AustralianLabor should be leading this.

billshortenmp Bad move Bill

billshortenmp Just change it. Why celebrate a British flag on a British prison colony, especially since it has only been a national public holiday since the 90s. Why not when we got our own anthem Or when EVERYONE was allowed to vote. Or any other day of the year that doesn’t divide the nation

billshortenmp Yeah sure Bill

billshortenmp I am not one of your fans but that is the correct call. This Nation needs to be as one and those who seek to divide our people are simply trouble makers.

billshortenmp Bills no always means yes

billshortenmp You really don’t need to ask him too many questions.The answer will always be what’s popular.

billshortenmp Great, Bill you made sense just then. But don't conflate our passion for retaining Australia Day on 26 Jan with wanting to retaining another public holiday - it's not what the debate is about 🇦🇺 Auspol

billshortenmp Sick of the Garbage about Australia Day 26 Jan is perfect celebrate and be great-full what an amazing country Australia is, just ask Venezuela’s what’s important

billshortenmp Finally he has said something right.... hopefully he will maintain it.

Australiaday should celebrated on 26 January. As for the invasion day March It's should be changed to March. MarchInMarch auspol

billshortenmp But, BS Bill, are you going to change the date of Australia Day. We’re not talking about the public holiday, but the day on which Australia Day falls.....26/01 each year? Answer me that.

billshortenmp so why did you start them then? how desperate is he to say the popular thing.

billshortenmp He's just pacifying the pack having gone the other way and got it wrong. He's the lease authentic most insincere politician in Australian history...which is no mean feat.

billshortenmp keepthedate, but rename it “Invasion Day”. ChangeTheNation

billshortenmp Can we just have the elections!!

billshortenmp Shorten finally realises that this particular bit of lefty virtue-signalling isn't going to fly with voters.

billshortenmp One of the few sensible things Little Bill has said
