Shorty knows he is destined for the garbage disposal unit and, like a drowning man, he is grabbing at anything to try to postpone his demise.
Speculation on your part, dressed up to look like fact. It might happen, it might not.

Shorty is rabbiting on about campaigning for his mythical next election that he would lose anyway.
Now that the LNP has a majority (albeit a very slim one) I can’t see how an early election would happen. I hope Shorten is not planning to do to the Turnbull government what Abbott did to the Gillard government.

Shorty is a classic case of the Peter Principle where a union brown noser is promoted to beyond his ability, you know, just like Gillard was.
While I do (with some reservations) agree with your assessment of Shorten, I think that, although Gillard did have union connections, she got where she did on her own merits. Her problem was that she was hamstrung by a hung parliament and an opposition that didn’t know the meaning of the word constructive. With the passing of time, I think her reputation will slowly improve and she will be seen as one of our better Prime Ministers, unlike Abbott, whose performance in the job makes Billy McMahon look good.
