Bill Shorten has accused The Daily Telegraph of a “new low” for an article the newspaper has written about his mother.
Mr Shorten appeared on Q&A on Monday and spoke of his mother, Dr Ann Shorten, as his inspiration.
The publication accuses the Labor leader of omitting parts of his mother’s career while talking about the sacrifices she made to raise her children.
Mr Shorten wrote on twitter, “The Daily Telegraph has decided to use my mum’s life as a political attack on me, and on her memory”.
