this morning, we were outside @billshortenmp's office, talking to locals about the need to raise Newstart immediately. Unbelievably enough, Bill's office called the cops on us. Nice solidarity here from "the party of the workers" 
The police took our names down & moved us on. We were peacefully handing out our campaign materials, demanding a dignified social security system. What kind of Labor leader calls the cops on a union?
Please stop with the "why aren't you going after the Liberals" crap. Our advocates have protested those ghouls relentlessly over the past 5 years. Fact is, Labor's commitments to poor Australians aren't good enough & have to change - our lives depend on it
One of our members handing out fliers is a mother who says she's starving on Newstart. She's written to Bill's office 5 times without a response. Today, Bill's office called the cops on her & told her to move on
