Bill Shorten needs to convince just 30,000 voters to switch from the Coalition to Labor to win the election and become Australia’s sixth prime minister in six years.
Early consensus was that Labor could gain ground but had no chance of swinging enough seats, yet now with Turnbull's vapid and repetitive 'trickle-down company tax cut to provide jobs' proposal not grabbing voters Shorten's Labor is in with a real chance.
