People forget that you vote for the team behind the face.

What i find interesting, in reflection of the result, when Shorten was head of the union, standing in front of the camera, trying to get ensure safe passage of those poor miners in that collapsed mine, how much community and media support he had (even murdochs rags . (Some right wingers would suggest that he was there for his own ego, maybe, i don't recall any Coalition member standing in support in a time of grief.)

It amazes me how quick people are to forget the good things and try to find holes, negatives. This happens in life all around though! It's such a pity!!

To be honest, I think Beaconsfield was the apex of his career.
