Australian TV icon Kerri-Anne Kennerley says 'life as we know it' would end if Bill Shorten is elected Prime Minister at this weekend's federal election.
Speaking live on Channel Ten's Studio 10 this morning, Kennerley shared some fiery criticism of the Labor Party leader.
If Bill Shorten gets in, it's the end of life as we know it,
"Honestly, without question,"she said.

Kennerley's outburst centred on two elements of Labor policies: tax plans and a possible 'National Gender Centre'.
She was critical of Labor's proposed changes to 'franking credits', which would see mostly wealthy retirees (and some pensioners) no longer receive a tax rebate for shares they own, when they don't pay income tax.
Kennerley admitted she had to Google what franking credits were, but says the changes will negatively affect self-funded retirees, who've already made plans for how they would spend their retirement.
"Taking money retrospectively, as they will do, that franking credits ... this is the way (for) self-funded retirees to not leach off the government pension," she said.
They look after themselves. They've got a plan. He'll rip that off them.
The Studio 10 co-host's two minute monologue also heavily criticised Labor's free cancer treatment pledge.
"All this stuff is just feeding the chooks, don't believe it," she said.
Dig a little deeper.
However, it was a proposed 'National Gender Centre' that caught most of Kennerley's ire.
"One thing I'm seriously outraged about, the millions and millions they'll spend on a Gender Commission."
Last month, the Tasmanian state government passed reforms that made gender an optional field on birth certificates. Kennerley appeared concerned federal Labor could follow suit.
"They will put up this Commission and we, like Tasmania, will have a child and it won't be male or female, it will be gender-free. That'll be national," she claimed.
Labor says the National Gender Centre would advocate for - and provide support to - transgender people. But Kennerley's live rant suggested it could go further.
And if your child is confused, the rights of your child will go to them, you will have no rights as a parent.
"That child will go, 'I want to be either a boy or girl, please give me whatever I need' and you as a parent will have no choice."
There's no confirmation from the Labor party that this would be the case.
The outburst was not well-received online.
Later on the Studio 10 program, Kennerley revealed she'd been contacted by Labor media to clear up the confusion - but did not apologise for her earlier remarks.
"The email says, 'earlier this morning, Kerri-Anne — spelt incorrectly ... fake news on your program, Labor spending 'millions and millions' to set up a Gender Commission," she told the audience.
"Apparently they're not spending millions and millions, because they haven't costed it yet."
