Bill Shorten on his random, oblique reference in the Epstein files

Bill Shorten on his random, oblique reference in the Epstein files

Today on Inside Politics, we welcome back former opposition leader Bill Shorten, who is now the Vice Chancellor of the University of Canberra.
It's a timely moment to have Shorten on the podcast as he obliquely (very obliquely, we stress) came up in the Epstein files this week.
Strangely, in the massive dump of new documents from the files, there is a text message exchange between Steve Bannon, the former strategist for Donald Trump, and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In the messages, Bannon boasts that he spoke to Australian billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer on his disruptive $80 million advertising campaign during the 2019 federal election.
This was the election contested by Shorten, and we asked him what he thought.
Joining host Jacqueline Maley for this discussion is chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal.
