He has his snout in the public trough of easy printed money and you support it.

Bill Shitten will get over $1 million for his new job as chancellor at a Canberra university -
for sitting on his arse talking bullshit.

They should make him work in a factory for minimum wages -
and take away his lucrative pension -
make him work for his meals -
a bowl of rice per day.

The man who wanted to be PM, Bill Shorten, to announce retirement

https://i.imgur.com/pMshuyA.jpg

Former Labor leader Bill Shorten will announce his retirement from politics at a press conference in Canberra with the prime minister on Thursday.

The pair are not political allies but enjoyed a successful working relationship in this term of government.

Shorten led the Labor Party between 2013-19 and served as the member for the Victorian seat of Maribyrnong since 2007. He previously led the Australian Workers’ Union, which formed Shorten’s power base in Labor’s Right faction.

Shorten’s exit has been a topic of consistent speculation since Labor won government in 2022 but he has always insisted his focus is on reforming the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which he has championed since he was a junior minister in 2009.

The soaring costs of the program have been a major challenge for the government but Shorten has shepherded reforms to reign it in through Parliament, having negotiated the support of the states and territories.

Soon after Labor was elected in May 2022, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese informally sounded Shorten out about taking on the role of High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, but the former party leader knocked back the job.

Shorten is a strong media performer who has been a tactically outspoken defender of the government’s position on issues such as gambling reform.

During his two first term as federal opposition leader, Shorten led the successful prosecution of Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey’s disastrous 2014 budget which eventually led the Coalition to tear down Abbott and replace him with Malcolm Turnbull.

After an initial honeymoon for Turnbull, Shorten then led a successful campaign against Turnbull which left the government with a one seat majority. In the second term of Shorten’s stint as opposition leader, Turnbull was dumped by the Coalition and replaced by Scott Morrison, who defied the polls to beat Labor in 2019.

Labor’s huge policy agenda heading into that election was blamed in some quarters for the AP falling just short and Morrison achieving his unlikely victory.

A nice cozy job-for-the-boys: taking up as Vice Chancellor at Canberra UNI. Roll Eyes

Leaving in Feb 2025!!!

Does that mean we have the extra expense of a By-election just prior to the next General election? Angry

He's not retiring ... he's just leaving politics with a phuken big pension .....

and landed himself a plumb job as a Vice Chancellor of the University of Canberra.....

on a measly $1.2 million a year salary.

with his parliamentary pension that's about $1.5 million plus a year.

Another prime example that Labor Party politicians are only Labor in name only.

gee, how dare someone try to stop retirees getting refunds for payments they hadn't made

Thankfully, those who were going to be affected by that policy knew what it meant and so did their families and friends, hence, Shorty lost the election.

Greedy boomers who'd spent all their lives sponging of taxpayers disagreed. Why would they change a habit of a lifetime.

What a crock of shyte. The majority were employed & paying taxes & putting into super(which was restricted by Govt of both persuations) all their lives until retirement.

You on the other hand run a business & get tax right offs on next to everything.

If you own investment property(you do) then your have benefitted from negative gearing & tax rebates.

It shows how much you respect your parents going the Boomer bashing cop out.

If $1.8 million is the correct salary/ amount for a "Vice" Chancellor.... then it's absolutely obscene.

With his parliamentary pension he would be earning over $2 million per year.....

ridiculous.

Maybe he could accept a menial job as a dishwasher or something.... like anyone else thrown on the streets and forced to find another job.

WTF is it with you people assuming that the most dismal class of politicians in history - the class on whom the garbage cans fell - should simply move on from one luxury gig to another as if by some right?

They can surely live off their savings until they find a new job... but of course they can't be expected to live by the same standards as the common herd, can they?

Goes to show how far down some of these left-leaning houses of learning have fallen ... Die Untergang... well - that's what I predicted and has happened under the feminised education system..... any old mates on the barricades of women's and blacks' and so forth 'oppression' welcome - all New Jews forbidden!! For you it's on the trains for resettlement in a rented room somewhere and work will make you free as a part-time casual builder's labourer instead of a professor of brain surgery ... Juden Raus!! Be under notice that you may be called upon for breeding purposes, but you will pay for that privilege for at least eighteen years, and if mated with a moody one, you may spend time up the river.

You twats can't see the parallels, can you? Oh, well....

Neue Juden - RAUS!!

Allen Neujuden ist es fortan verboten, einen Beruf auszuüben oder höhere Managementpositionen zu bekleiden. Ihre Zahl an Bildungseinrichtungen muss reduziert werden. Alle Rechte an der Familie müssen eingeschränkt werden. Zudem dürfen sie nur noch niedere Arbeiten verrichten, die eher den Staatsfeinden vorbehalten sind.
