Bill Shorten is no dope; a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Monash University in Victoria would tend to dispel that myth.
Further studies saw him complete a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Melbourne, some would argue the best business school in Australia strengthening his business acumen.
Its pretty unusual for a high ranking union official to hold an MBA when it is more customary to hold a golden gloves title, cricket bat or 4 x 2 lump of jarrah.

As the National Secretary for the Australian Workers Union from 2001 - 2007, Shorten held a very high profile position, none more so than during the Beaconsfield mine disaster when he became the public face of the rescue.
The more cynical would associate disaster management with the current state of the Australian Labor Party, in such a case, he is well credentialed.
Acting as a director for the Victorian Funds Management Corporation from 2005 - 2007 and Australian Super from 1998 - 2007, Shorten has established himself as the leader the right faction of the Australian Labor Party.
However, I get the feeling he didn't fare too well in the MBA leadership unit; I'm pretty sure they don't teach knifing leaders at Melbourne Business School. Being a very prominent figure in the Keven Rudd axing in 2010.
Shorten then withdrew his support for Julia Gillard less than 30 minutes before the leadership ballot returning Kevin Rudd to power in June - Shorten has effectively assassinated two sitting Prime Ministers.
Most expect Labor to be at least a two term opposition so he would be in no rush to become opposition leader any time soon, however, his high profile assassinations might well prevent him from becoming a leader with any moral credibility.
