SYDNEY - Bill Shorten, leader of Australia’s opposition Labor party, is known as a deft negotiator who can work a room to his advantage.
“When he came onto the scene it struck me immediately that this guy was going places,” said race horse industry executive John Alducci who faced Shorten in contract talks in the 1990s. Labor’s 2019 campaign has focused on higher spending for health and education, and more ambitious curbs to greenhouse gas pollution than his opponents.The center-left Labor wants to restrict the use of negative gearing - whereby some property investors can offset their costs - and end certain tax credits attached to share portfolios.John Hewson, a former Liberal leader who has been critical of both parties, said Shorten was more pragmatist than reformer.
On April 25, 2006, a small earthquake triggered an underground rock fall at the mine on the southern island state of Tasmania. Barry Easther, mayor of the Beaconsfield area at the time, said Shorten provided calm leadership and kept the focus on the trapped miners amid workers’ anger at the mining company.
