"I see that Bill Shorten is punching the air as though he'd won the World Cup..there's certainly nothing to crow about", said Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull after the Labor party won four out of five 'Super Saturday' by- elections held on Saturday July 28. With Labor leader Bill Shorten claiming the by-election victories reflect voter sentiment against the coalition government's policies, Mr Turnbull says the real test of public opinion will be the next federal election. Journalist Bharat Raj Poudel shares his thoughts on the latest results.
