Bill Shorten has been confronted by a frustrated cancer patient during a campaign stop at a hospital, who asked how Labor can be trusted.
Rob Gibbs, 48, a former Country Fire Authority volunteer who suffers from chronic myeloid leukaemia, was at a cafe outside Casey hospital when he spotted the Labor leader.
“I can’t speak for Mr Andrews, I can pass on your disappointment to him. But I can’t speak for him. But what I can speak for is, I haven’t been Prime Minister for the last four years. But if I am prime minister, I do want to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.” Bill Shorten was speaking to the media outside Casey Hospital when Rob came up to speak to him.
