Sky News host Paul Murray says Bill Shorten is living in "some alternative world where he is the prime minister," as he "not once, but twice," pushed the coronavirus "hype-train" on Thursday.

On Thursday, the former Labor leader had called for the implementation of “drastic social distancing measures” to ensure Australia can effectively contain COVID-19.

Mr Shorten pointed to examples in the US and China, where “draconian” social distancing measures assisted in an effort to delay the spread of the coronavirus.

“At the end of the day, it is a public health emergency,” he said.

"Today you saw an example of opportunism and delusion, writ large," Mr Murray said.

"The man who thought that he would be prime minister popped up not once but twice to offer his suggestions as if this was some sort of a choose your own adventure novel".

"Thankfully Bill Shorten isn't prime minister," as he has given an indication that if he was leader he would choose "panic over freedom".
