Opposition leader Bill Shorten has come under fire following accusations he’s taken a page out of British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s book.

Finance Minister Mathias Cormann is accusing Bill Shorten of plagiarising Mr Corbyn in his National Press Club speech, saying his “anti-business” agenda is a backwards step for Australia.

Ross Greenwood speaks with former president of Business Council of Australia Tony Shepherd.

“He’s getting closer and closer to Jeremy Corbyn every day.

“I thought that was a terrible prescription for the future of Australia.”
