Shorten is the legitimate good guy in this saga, he started fighting this in opposition and has been against it from the start.

So, I heard Shortens been using his speaking time, in parliament, to read into hansard 'impacted persons/victims' testimonies. So there is a permanent record of the disruptions to their lives.
Its a pretty champion move. Because it means future pollies will have a harder time minimising these events for political purposes.
this is actually a massive vindication, the media strung him up over this issue
I wish Shorten had the opportunity to be prime minister. Seems like a genuinely good person.
That potato head fucker can fuck right off. The pack of them bastards 'gleefully' implemented an obviously idiotic scheme that resulted in trauma and deaths throughout the most vulnerable. They are on par with the Irish priests in the Ryan Report who argued that "No-one told us it was wrong to rape kids"
His calling out Shorten for gleefully politicising the bad actions of the Liberal party is some "pot calling the kettle black" bullshit.
Indeed, what about the (then government's) glee at actually causing these deaths? People even mentioned it in the RC: The government was actively hoping the people dying were going to be perceived as dole bludgers and therefore not important enough to care about.
More akin to "supermassive black hole calling Carlton Banks black" bullshit
how dare shorten politicise the results of liberal policy! have some respect and let victims of policy suffer in silent forgotten dignity!
Fuck off Dutton, your time to speak was when your party in power was killing people with this shit
He really is stuffed here: nowhere to go but on the attack.
What a lonely, bitter existence these Liberals must lead, forced to drag themselves to the next election through their own mud.
No no no, he's got a point. I'm feeling a lot of glee that consequences might actually be forthcoming.
