Wrong. It was based mainly on public displays of self-indulgent sentimentality. Twits repeating a hashtag as though it 'made a difference', when it was really about people feeling good about themselves by taking the moral high ground on an imaginary problem. You can excuse Bandt and Brand backing it because they are trying to appeal to the naive and gullible but Shorten should be embarrassed.
I happen to think it was an extremely needed and welcome re-affirmation that there are more good souls in this country than bigoted arseholes. The key to the treasure in this case WAS the treasure.
