Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has laid out his manifesto for becoming Prime Minister in his Budget reply speech.With the election campaign about to formally get underway, Mr Shorten has targeted his repsonse to Tuesday night's budget on the traditional Labor focuses of health and education, as well as infrastructure and giving the less-well-off a hand up, rather than what he says is the government's approach of helping the wealthy.
