Remember the fury at Joe Hockey’s “gaffe” about people getting a decent job to buy a house?

Where’s the anger when Bill Shorten says the same thing.

From Andrew Bolt:

What is the difference between Hockey’s “gaffe” and Shorten’s boast?

Treasurer Joe Hockey last month:

The starting point for a first homebuyer us to get a good job that pays good money… If you’ve got a good job that pays good money and you have security in relation to that job then you can go to the bank and you can borrow money. 

Bill Shorten:

As if Joe Hockey hasn’t insulted families enough, he’s at it once more… This is ‘poor people don’t drive cars’ all over again. This isn’t just another Joe Hockey gaffe – this is proof he just doesn’t get the pressure families are facing.

Bill Shorten in the royal commission yesterday:

My aim always in any EBA was to try and provide more work and more regular remuneration so that people could have certainty of an income. Once you’ve got regular income, then you can get a car loan, then you can even dream of getting a house loan.
