Those who are looking at the Australian media landscape will be unsurprised that News Limited papers are continuing their work of helping to ensure that Australian voters continue not to trust the ALP. We can expect a continuation of the meme that Labor is “riven”, shambolic and the rest whilst the Liberal Government is unified and getting on with the job of government, even if there’s scandals already much larger and more costly than the Gillard / AWU and Slipper’s cabcharge “scandals”. One expects Simon Benson, Samantha Maiden and the rest to continue to position Labor and now Bill Shorten in such a way. I expected the Shortening to begin in earnest at about now and continue rising in volume, pitch and tone as soon as he does politically popular things. Today’s attack, however, comes from Peter Van Onselen, a man who liked to position himself before the election as a balanced critic of both sides. Today’s piece in the Sunday Telegraph, however, throws that artifice into question. Here we go. ausopinion/2013/11/03/theshorteningbegins/
