Labor has wasted no time in labelling Australia's new Prime Minister Scott Morrison as "the architect, the author and the creator" of bad policies.
Amid handshakes and cries of "onya Bill" in a marketplace visit in Melbourne on Saturday, Labor leader Bill Shorten said changing the leader changed nothing.
"They've sacked a more popular salesman for a less popular salesman," Mr Shorten told reporters.
"But the real problem the government has is they're still selling the same product."
Mr Shorten did spare a few words to single out now-deposed Malcolm Turnbull's commitment to country.
"For all the fierce words of disagreement, I do not doubt for one second that Mr Turnbull was a loyal servant of Australia," he said.
But that didn't change the fact that Scott Morrison, and his deputy Josh Frydenberg, had been architects of controversial coalition policies.
"We've got a situation right now in Australia where everything's going up except people's wages and that's Mr Morrison's fault," Mr Shorten said.
But Mr Shorten then took up one of Mr Morrison's signature slogans back when he was immigration minister.
"We will stop the boats," he said.
However, Labor would redouble its efforts to resettle those detained in offshore detention in third countries.
"Because we don't think indefinite detention is the Australian way," he said.
Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen also fronted reporters in Sydney to demand a policy reset from the government in the form of a federal election.
He blasted reports the government is considering releasing a 'mini-budget' later this year as an insufficient policy reset.
"This is just shuffling deckchairs after a week of melodrama, chaos and dysfunction," Mr Bowen said.
"The Australian people look at this government and say a mini-budget won't fix it, an election will."
Labor is also calling on the government to release the details of its coalition agreement with the National Party, kept secret for decades.
