Bill Shorten (Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

Today in question time the Leader of the House repeated yet another false allegation about me regarding my time leading the Australian Workers' Union. As was explained in today's Australian, the claim was false. No rules were broken; no conflict existed. I am advised that the reporting error was corrected. This is nothing more than an inaccurate and undergraduate smear from a minister who is fiddling while weekend penalty rates for 700,000 Australians burn.
