I'm a Christian and a supporter of marriage equality under the law.
Bill Shorten
I think it is a cornerstone of our electoral system that you raise electoral funds for elections but that doesn't mean that therefore the implication can be made that the recipients are incapable of transacting their interests and their duties towards people any differently.

What I've done as a union leader and what literally thousands of other union representatives do, is make sure that we have co-operation in the workplace. What I get is that where employees are well treated, employers do well.
Bill Shorten
Trusting people to pursue their own futures invariably provides better outcomes. Money goes where it is needed, rather than being absorbed by administration costs.
Bill Shorten
I'm proud of my record of negotiating agreements, representing people and making sure that both employers and employees could get the best out of going to work every day.
Bill Shorten
Labor should not be about creating monuments on hills or statues in parks. Labors monuments and statues are when a young person can find a job, when a person with disability can get access to the ordinary life that others take for granted.
Bill Shorten
When I entered federal parliament at the end of 2007, I was appointed parliamentary secretary for disabilities.
Bill Shorten
I want to build a Big Labor party. A party of big ideas. A party which is deeply connected to the community. A party which reflects our diverse nation.
Bill Shorten

Bill Shorten
Fleeing persecution is not a crime. And we do not seek to pander to a noisy, tiny minority who will never embrace modern multicultural Australia. But there are important truths we must face. There is a history and a reality that we cannot ignore. The challenge before us is real, the questions we grapple with as elemental as life and death.
Bill Shorten
Once upon a time, I thought denial was a river in Egypt. It's actually the attitude of the Abbott government.
