Bill Shorten has launched a scathing attack on the Coalition, labelling the prime minister “morally bankrupt” and reliant on an “insolvent senator”. Shorten said the Turnbull government was willing to risk “more guns on the streets” in exchange for Liberal Democrats senator David Leyonhjelm’s vote. “This is a morally weak prime minister. He said the party had demonstrated a capacity to “renew itself, to change, to refresh itself and to renew its leadership”. “All of these are attributes of this party,” he told the state Labor convention on Saturday.
