Shorten uses ‘drag’ jibe on PM

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott is acting like an opposition leader in drag, Bill Shorten says.

The Opposition Leader was asked about Mr Abbott’s recent claim that the previous Labor government had not allocated enough money for chemotherapy, when Mr Shorten started shaking his head.

‘‘ The Prime Minister needs to concentrate on focusing on what are things he is going to do in the future, rather than simply trying to be an opposition leader in drag,’’ he said.

‘‘Once you get elected to run the government of Australia, that’s a massive privilege, it doesn’t matter who you are, Liberal or Labor.’’
