Remember when Bill Shorten was caught out lying on national television about having personally witnessed the homophobic posters, “Stop the Fags”, in Melbourne before the voluntary-non-binding-postal-survey?

He said, “I’ve seen those ridiculous posters in Melbourne, I’ve seen copies of leaflets…” Umm, no you didn’t. You couldn’t have. Because as soon became clear—even by Auntie’s own Media Watch—after an extensive police investigation it was discovered that it was all an elaborate hoax.
