The first concerns an interview with Labor’s Bill Shorten in GQ, which Newscorp reviewed with the title “Shorten drops F-bomb and reveals biggest career regret”. Shorten swearing is hardly news – at least not for anyone with the ability to imagine what goes on in a Labor caucus room. But the “bomb” was dropped in regards to Shorten’s criticism of the government’s attachment to the infamous TPP free trade deal – a document to which no one but the Coalition has been privy. For generations, the right-faction Labor leadership from which Shorten was spawned has exercised excruciating caution in its public views on trade and finance. Yet “What the fuck?” came from Shorten to GQ, “They can’t even provide us with how the agreement benefits people.”
