Why Bill Shorten is quitting politics
Manage episode 438376114 series 2535565
Bill Shorten has wanted to be the prime minister since he was a teenager.
Yesterday he finally gave up that ambition, announcing his resignation from politics.
Shorten spent almost two decades in parliament – rising to be opposition leader and contesting two elections, but never winning.
As an architect of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, his legacy is significant. But his political failures have also shaped the country in enduring ways.
Today, Schwartz Media’s editor-in-chief Erik Jensen on how Bill Shorten’s career has changed Australia.
