We’re use to political spin, but this is really something else.
If the marble table that met it’s end at Tony Abbott’s post-Prime Ministerial blow out is anything to go by, Australian pollies really love to let loose.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, a man widely accepted as enjoying a pint or two, also bloody loves to dance, it seems.
Here he is twirling up a storm on the dance floor during his visit to the island republic of Kiribati (courtesy of the ABC, of course):
He just looks so happy. :’)
Mr Shorten is currently visiting Pacific island nations to discuss the very real impact of climate change in the region and has already been to Papua New New Guinea and the Marshall Islands, according to ABC News.
“Your story, the story of your country can help the whole world face up to the challenge of climate change and accept responsibility for a response that will help those most in need, first of all,” he said during a speech directed at Kiribati’s president Anote Tong.
“This is one of the reasons my friends and I are here – we want to help raise awareness and build a case for international action.”

Cue the outrage about what Bill and Tanya are doing holidaying in the Pacific islands, dancing up a storm, courtesy of the Australian taxpayer.... oh yeah, he's not Tony Abbott so it's all good.
And what exactly are they doing over there? Building awareness about so called 'climate change'?
How come the ones who constantly lecture us about 'climate change' are always the first to jump on carbon emmitting aeroplanes and fly around the world telling the rest of us that we need to cut carbon emissions?
Nah, he's fair game. Just like Howard was mocked for his poor offspin bowling!
At least they give it a go.
