Opposition Leader Bill Shorten echoed the words of former Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam in a speech at Bowman Hall in Blacktown on 16 May. The Sydney venue was the scene of Whitlam’s iconic ‘It’s time’ speech 47 years ago, and like Whitlam in 1972, Shorten described the 2019 election as a choice between the ‘habits and fears of the past’ and the ‘demands and opportunities of the future’. Shorten used his speech to reiterate Labor’s key polices, including action on climate change and reversing penalty rate cuts.
