Bill Shorten: Letter to the Cairns Post

Dear Editor
It is far too early in time for Bill Shorten or for the ALP to complain that somehow the Liberal Government isn't telling the truth. 
It is the burden of those with a better moral/ethical position to live morally and ethically...the burden is not to demand this of others. 
The ALP had that ethic and put it aside for the personal profit of its high-flyers...Gillard, Shorten, Rudd, and the rest. 
We are the poorer not because the Liberals have power but because the ALP destroyed itself with greed and personal ambition, placing these personal values higher than any decent human policy.
We will have a Liberal Federal and State Government for at least the next 15 years...not because their ideas are better but because they are better at a much simpler form of government...doing a few things here and there, and not saying much.
That's all people want.
To the electors, politics is not show-business, nor is it a game.
Politicians, no matter how much Bill Shorten desires to be a celebrity, are not celebrities at all; not in the real world we live in.
Bill, don't blame the Government.
Fix yourself and fix the party you destroyed so as to become leader of it.
You have at least a decade to do so, and you will need every minute of the time to do anything good...but it won't be good for you anyway.
People will need and will listen to an ALP after all that is done, and after all that brought you to leadership has gone.
