More quotes by Bill Shorten
I've spent my whole working life standing up for workers. Didn't matter if it was the two trapped miners at Beaconsfield or professional netballers or indeed factory workers or construction workers.
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
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
My preference is that employees pay their union dues, but what I also get is that I'd rather someone be in the union than not in the union.
Bill Shorten
I'm a Christian and a supporter of marriage equality under the law.

Once upon a time, I thought denial was a river in Egypt. It's actually the attitude of the Abbott government.

When I entered federal parliament at the end of 2007, I was appointed parliamentary secretary for disabilities.
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
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.
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
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.
