SHORTEN IN ISO

LABOR frontbencher and former leader Bill Shorten has tested positive to Covid-19.

Mr Shorten, the party’s NDIS and government services spokesman, made the announcement on Twitter on Saturday morning.

“Never good timing for anyone so will be in iso for a week and then free for final week of the campaign,” he said.

Mr Shorten’s diagnosis is a blow for Labor with pre-poll voting starting on Monday. Opinion polls show Labor with a narrow national two-party preferred lead over the Coalition.
