"Cancer is frightening, it's isolating, it's exhausting. And - all too often - it is impoverishing." - Shorten
"If we win the next election we will put back every single dollar the Liberals have cut from public schools and public hospitals." - Shorten
"Too often, when the worst happens, people still say: 'Why didn't she leave?' What we should ask is: 'Where would she go?" - Shorten on safe accommodation for women fleeing violence.
"When Bill Shorten was the Minister for Employment, he oversaw Australia's largest decline in the number of apprentices - 110,000 or 22 per cent in just one year (2012-13)." - Finance Minister Mathias Cormann
