Yesterday, Bill Shorten walked through a supermarket in a completely normal way with a completely normal family and asked a completely normal question:
“What’s your favourite type of lettuce?”
You can watch that completely normal moment here (you’ll need to turnip the sound):
Some people tried to make fun of that completely normal situation and tried to suggest that is not a completely normal question. We’re a country with a lot of lettuce options. It’s completely normal to have a preference.
Especially women. Women love lettuce. Look at these women, just loving their lettuce:
Women laughing at salad
Anyway, I’m getting a head of myself. I di-cress…
The excellent Alice Workman from Triple J asked the completely normal question to Bill Shorten’s office. First on Twitter:
Then on the phone:
But Alice couldn’t leaf the question alone and asked Bill Shorten himself the completely normal question this morning.
Shorten tossed up (well, he didn’t really, but I’ve pretty much used up my puns…):
Shorten is clearly trying to a-peas all lettuce-loving voters (perhaps trying to steal them from The Greens).
But everyone knows:
So, we ask you in a completely normal way: what is your favourite lettuce?
[Noting that you can’t roll up san choy bau with rocket. Just sayin’.]

oh hell, I just realised kale is not a lettuce. That explains the weird tuna sandwich I received.
Lettuce? Favourite is buttercrunch but for volume, water content and economics, iceberg for salad rolls. Love the gallery! We women also smile pleasantly at vitamins and painkiller tabs, saving smiles of awe and adoration for our toenails. Apparently.
