Bill Shorten is now a contender. But where do his loyalties lie? Is he a defender of Labor values in today's Australia, or is he a shape-shifter, driven entirely by politics? And does this product of the old world of union intrigue have what it takes to defeat Malcolm Turnbull and lead the country?
Marr reveals a man we hardly know- the Napoleon of the factions, a virtuoso with numbers and a strategist of skill whom Labor has backed to return the party to power.
