FULL INTERVIEW: A special report by the Daily Telegraph indicates Prime Minister Scott Morrison is being 'outgunned' by Opposition leader Bill Shorten with the election campaign's sponsored ad posts on social media. News Corp Political Reporter Claire Bickers says the Labor leader has 20 posts on Facebook which have been 'boosted' to reach a wider audience while Mr Morrison only has 13, some of which have been running since January.
Experts predict a notable part of the campaign battle will be fought on social media platforms, suggesting the negative campaigns will be largely based online. Ms Bickers says analysis of the leader's online platforms shows Mr Morrison pitching himself to middle Australia as a 'family man', while Mr Shorten appears to be 'removing himself' from his social media campaigns, instead opting to 'focus more on policy than himself'.

MorpheusBeing dailytelegraph ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp As someone else on here noted, the ALP can't get a fair hearing in most of the MSM because it's owned and serves the agenda of Murdoch and the other RW gazillionairrres.
MorpheusBeing dailytelegraph ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp Well holy crap, that wouldn't be sensible would it, to be like Morrison & focus on selling yourself compared to Shorten selling his policies!

dailytelegraph ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp The election battle has a course to run. It is not what people see and hear now. It is the final assault that is imprinted most heavily in the psyche. Typical Labor runs off into the spotlight with false promise and hope only to fail in the end LiberalAus
dailytelegraph ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp 'Outgunned' or not Shorten, is still untrustworthy. His history is testament to that. Yes, LNP should be doing better.
dailytelegraph ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp That’s the only place that labor can have a voice . With all the media and newspapers campaigning for LNP because they are owned by Murdoch.

dailytelegraph ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp Labor: great on selling their ordinary feel-good policies and half-truths. Liberals: poor on selling their more robust policies that have the citizens' future in mind. Result: depends on the degree of short-sightedness of voters.
dailytelegraph ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp LNP don't support ordinary Australians everyone know this. He has No Policies and all he wants to do is talk about Labor's Policies which are For All Australians not just Tax cuts to the wealthy
