Bill Shorten has been criticised for a Labor ad about hiring Australian’s first that features almost entirely white people.

“Oh… yeah. Fair point yeah. My bad.” Shorten said in response to criticism scratching his head. “How did we not see that one earlier?”

He looked back at the ad. “Man… this really is harder than I anticipated. You put only one Asian woman in an ad and suddenly people are like “whoa, that’s not enough. What are you trying to say?” If only politicians were so scrutinised over what we said or did or spent tons of money producing to broadcast on TV…”

Liberal MP Craig Laundy was about to accuse Shorten of xenophobia before a flock of birds flew right into his mouth and stopped him from speaking as if the universe itself was not about to let the Liberal party have the moral high ground. They simply just don’t deserve that.

It was suggested that the ad was designed to target One Nation voters according to another Liberal MP, 

Arthur Sinodinos.

“That’s mistake number one,” he said. “For starters: that’s our tactic and we do it way better than Labor.”
