Is this the most on-message politician? Australian minister agrees with PM without knowing what she said

Mr Shorten nodded: “But I support what my Prime Minister said.”

When Mr Speers asked him for his personal view, he insisted: “My view is
what the Prime Minister’s view is.”

The incredulous anchor pressed: “Surely you must have your own view on
this.”

Unfazed Mr Shorten replied: “No, when you ask me if I’ve got a view on
this, it’s such a general question, it invites me to go to lots of places.”

Despite being corrected that he was in fact being asked a specific question
about whether Peter Slipper should return to the Speaker’s chair while
allegations were being investigated, Mr Shorten reiterated his support for
Ms Gillard.

“I’m sure she’s right,” he concluded.
