As the federal election Easter ceasefire took effect on Sunday, Bill Shorten spent the afternoon leading Brisbane kids on a scavenger hunt. 9News

While the coalition holds 21 of 30 federal Queensland seats, there are a swag of marginals up for grabs.

He and Chloe were joined by their three children Georgette, Rupert and Clementine for the Anglican mass. "He gets it - he's talking about doing something about climate change - and being less divisive and polarising about it," Mr Harrison told AAP. As well as Cathy O'Toole's seat of Herbert, the Adani mine is also a major issue for voters in the central Queensland LNP-held seats of Capricornia and Dawson.

Shorten to 'stop the rot' on penalty rates - 9NewsPenalty rate cuts will cost ordinary workers hundreds of dollars over Easter, Bill Shorten warns, as he resumes his federal election campaign after a day off. Bwahaha, might want to ask how the Clean Event workers feel about Billy's work to secure penalty rates. When do Bill's lies stop? Surely one journalist will question why Bill set up the penalty rates inquiry under Julia Gillard. Bill Shorten's union (AWU) was responsible for deals to lower penalty rates for retail workers at Big W, Target & Just Jeans. Plus the Cleanavent scandal!

Shorten and Morrison caught unawares in a week that channelled Spinal TapBoth Labor and the Coalition laid their cards on the table weeks ago, creating plenty of opportunities for new issues to fill the limelight. And on these surprises, both leaders have been caught unawares. Why does the ABC always focus on the trivial stuff and ignore the important issues? I don’t want opinion, I want facts, especially on corruption. How about PM campaigns strongly, and we jumped on him coz his glasses were crooked,whilst Shorten and his team are found sadly wanting with no knowledge of costings on their rape of the country,yet zero accountability from the press.

'Scare campaigns' and 'propaganda': Why a fed-up Bill Shorten has turned on News CorpThe reasons for Labor's increased public hostility towards News Corp reflect both long-held truths about politics and the realities of the modern media landscape. They also vary depending on who you ask So now you admit that the media will use its power and influence to spread misinformation. Wouldn’t this be a the story of the year if true?

It wouldn't be surprising if Shorten was starting to get nervousFor Mr Shorten, Easter might act as an eraser to rub out people's memories of a scratchy couple of days in the first week. But this is just the beginning. Shorten is nervous that you're not covering the Watergate story like you should be. To lose the unlosable election.. Your unfair reporting would put the wind up any reasonable person.
