No, this is the Leader of the Opposition—this is your leader—at the BCA. He told the Business Council of Australia to expect nothing from a Shorten Labor government because, as one of the attendees is reported as saying, he thinks a class war will be good for Labor. He obviously didn't hold those views when he was cosying up to billionaires in Melbourne, doing special deals to short-change his members. I don't think he was running this class-war line when he went to visit Mr Huang in Mosman—or perhaps he might have been. Who knows? You never know. He'll say anything to please his audience. The reality is he has no consistency in his support for investment. Labor has not one policy which would encourage one business to invest one dollar or hire one more employee. He wants to smash the economy with a $164 billion tax grab. He wants to increase energy prices. He talks about targeting millionaires—well, he's only ever targeted them to suck up to them.
