Bill Shorten has become the butt of fast-food related jokes on social media, after accidentally confusing an American sandwich chain with convenience store 7-Eleven. An investigation into the convenience store juggernaut, revealed earlier this week, found that two-thirds of stores were underpaying staff. In speaking against the China-Australia free trade deal on Wednesday, Shorten told reporters, “We want to ensure that we don’t see people coming here on visas being exploited and undercutting Australian jobs.” “We’ve all been appalled and disgusted by the scenes at Subway [where] thousands of people are being ripped off,” he said, confusing the two chains. “Labor will not be bullied to give up on standing up for Australian jobs by the shouting of Mr Abbott and his Liberals,” he said. Social media site Twitter erupted, ridiculing Shorten over his gaffe.

I shouted "just like David Cameron" to which he asked for a translation, and that the local populace were idiots.

It's a unpleasant thing that you can do because of much practice that demostrates how hard you are to the rest of the pub, like putting a cigarette out on your tongue. That's why he's out there skulling pints instead of asking for a white wine shandy, again. someone should really tell him it makes you look like an arse

http://www.crikey.com.au/2015/09/02/quelle-surprise-government-hands-big-banks-a-tax-win/quote:Nine months on from the delivery of the Murray Financial System Inquiry report, the report recommendations that lie within the government’s bailiwick have sat idle. While the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority has smartly got on with its task of “setting capital standards such that Australian authorised deposit-taking institution capital ratios are unquestionably strong”, the government has been “consulting” on a report that contains a lot of recommendations the big banks don’t like — especially around superannuation and financial advice. This feels like a crystallisation of everything wrong with both the Abbott government and modern politics. They've repealed a key defence against recession purely because they were desperate for something, anything, to call a press conference about, to try to seize the day's narrative. It's the very definition of not looking any further ahead than the end of the daily media cycle.

"But the Coalition has already flagged its intention to call out Mr Windsor as a hypocrite for selling his farm to Whitehaven Coal" I've been hearing this poo poo for years now as if it's some trump card against Windsor but noone ever bothers to explain why, it's just a load of "well if he hates mines so much why did he sell his farm to a mine?? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM makes you think" bullshit that doesn't go anywhere. You'd think they'd have come up with something more substantial to throw at him by now.

At best they might pull the whole "he supported the carbon and mining tax" thing except people have started to realise the repeal of the carbon tax didn't do poo poo to drop power prices, and the mining tax is pretty moot if there's no mining.

I've known people who've been trying to fight CSG companies on their land. It's a draining, soul-sucking, expensive process that pretty much cripples your ability to make money with the land. Coal companies are the same. Selling your land to the company isn't assent, it's defeat.

If it was a former LNP MP this discussion would only consist of snark about cronyism.

It's not loving spring yet, I can't believe Australia decided "oh no people are too dumb to have the seasons change when they actually change, we'll just move them to the beginning of the month instead and tell people Sept 1 is the first day of spring when it's really three weeks later"

I really loving hope the Victorian health department goes for a big loving skate for fiddling with an independent study into mortality effects of the hazelwood coal mine fire. The head researcher of the study should be dragged through the mud too for allowing the people commissioning the study to change the conclusions.

The Eurocentric four season model really doesn't work for much of Australia. No one model could as the climate varies so significantly from one part of the country to another.

Just smile and nod.
