    Default Bill Shorten speech cancelled in Tasmania... due to lack of interest.

    Labor has been forced to cancel a formal lunch and keynote speech by federal leader Bill Shorten to business leaders in Tasmania because of a lack of interest.

    The opposition canned Wednesday's event in Devonport, which falls in the by-election seat of Braddon, because organisers only managed to sell 15 of 80 tickets, The Australian reports.

    I also read that an event with Chloe Shorten has also been cancelled for lack of interest.

    The only ticket I would buy to see Bill Shortchange is a ticket to his public flogging.
