Opposition leader of Labor Party Mr. Bill Shorten has not elected the Australian Prime Minister yet, but he was the PIE MINISTER while he was holding the Workplace Relation Minister under Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s era. On August 3, 2012, Minister Bill Shorten used the vituperative words to Miss Annie Huang, a Pie shop owner at Melbourne (Victoria state) after the hot Pie ran out, despite Miss Huang suggested warming up a cold pie but Mr. Bill Shorten threatened:” You’ve lost business”. The media, actually on this day, the television in Australia broadcast the scenario and since this day, Mr. Bill Shorten has a nickname Pie Minister.
Mr. Bill Shorten is a former union boss, he had an opportunity stepping in the politics after two gold miners at Tasmania trapped and rescued successfully (He didn’t rescue but the left media promoted as a hero). Bill Shorten became opposition leader after Labor Minister Kevin Rudd defeated by Coalition leader Tony Abbott in the election 2013.
In the leadership spill between Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd on June 26, 2013. Before Bill Shorten vowed to support Julia Gillard, but he turned the face within 24 hours and Prime Minister Julia Gillard lost the top job. The leadership spill was an acrid lesson for Julia Gillard, there is not the close comrade relationship but the individual interest putting above all. There was not only Bill Shorten turned the face but Senator Penning Wong was as the sisterhood of Julia Gillard but in the rushing time, Penning Wong kicked and stabbed back.
Mr. Bill Shorten failed in the federal election 2016 and he is still loyal the opposition leader’s position. In the US election 2016, once again, some Australian politicians proved the low political level. Indeed, the concerned politicians have to stand independently in the US election or the allies, whoever elected the US president, the Australia keeps the relationship. Therefore, opposition leader Bill Shorten, Senator Penning Wong (shadow foreign minister, Senate leader of labor) and a major representative of Labor officially attacked candidate Donald Trump, actually Bill Shorten called Donald Trump as” barking mad”. The Coalition had Foreign Minister Julia Bishop endorsed Hillary Clinton because Hillary is female and senior minister Christopher Pyne slammed candidate Donald Trump. Now Donald Trump became the 45th US president, how do the Aussie politicians think?
The state election on June 9, 2017, changed the government, state Labor opposition Mc Gowan elected and became the Western Australia Premier. Therefore after 4 months, Labor broke the promises, so the Police has no pay rise and they struck. The train line to Ellenbrook was a promise in the election, but now the train line doubts because the budget being faced the black hole with $AUD 400 million, another promise broke.
Recently, on October 13, 2017, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten comes to Western Australia, he promises $AUD 700 million for the Ellenbrook’s train line if he elected the Prime Minister. But where is money?
Labor Party is keen on the promise, the demagogic tactic carries out the promises and after getting the government, they break the promises, so Bill Shorten promises that are the Labor habit, let’s wait and see. If a Coalition promises the Ellenbrook train line, it is normal, therefore after Labor State Premier broke the promise and Labor Opposition Leader promises on the broken promise, it is the political football without an umpire.
