Bill Shorten has sharpened his focus on wages and climate change, urging a"vote for change" in his final major campaign speech.
Australian Opposition Leader Bill Shorten delivers his final speech at Bowman Hall in Blacktown, Sydney,A Labor government would convene parliament to put climate change action high on the agenda, expanding the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to drive 50 per cent renewable energy in the grid, Mr Shorten told party faithful in Blacktown on Thursday.
He outlined Labor's expansive policy agenda headlined with the party's cancer package, childcare subsidies, funding for schools and hospitals and protections for the ABC and SBS.The speech was at Blacktown's Bowman Hall in Sydney's west, where Gough Whitlam delivered his It's Time address at the start of the 1972 election campaign.
In another nod to the Whitlam years, Little Pattie - one of the singers of the It's Time jingle - attended the speech.
Wages going up would cause inflation. Bill’s climate actions would get zero result without the US, RU, China & India’s involvement. So, his plans would fail. Is he planning anything else?
I voted Labor second last

Labor considers Julie Bishop for ambassador's roleLabor leader Bill Shorten praised the Liberal former foreign minister at a campaign event in Perth. No no no no no no. Why does labor keep doing this? Libs give nothing to ex Labor pollies and stack roles with their own. There are plenty of capable labor people who could fill this role. I thought billshortenmp had promised that to MrKRudd in return for him smoking the peace pipe at the ALP campaign launch NO DON'T DO THAT BILL, REMEMBER WHAT SHE DID TO STEVE BRACKS !!!!!!

Labor considers Julie Bishop for ambassador's roleLabor leader Bill Shorten has left the door open to offering former foreign minister Julie Bishop a job if Labor wins government. Asbestos Queen would certainly look at it.........she always looked after number one. So will the Libs if they get in!! Great! I hope she gets Hockey’s job in Washington. It’d be great to show the Yanks an Aussie with class & style. Instead of the obese buffoon we currently have there. Though he is better suited to the current occupant of the Whitehouse 🙄
