OPPOSITION Leader Bill Shorten has faced his toughest interview yet, being quizzed about crashing his car, dragging Rudd down and the time he drunkenly rallied a crowd.

It all went down on Wednesday night’s episode of The Weekly, where comedian Tom Gleeson interviewed Shorten for his satirical segment “Hard Chat”.

“You attempted to vote Liberal because, even you have to admit, six prime ministers in six years is just plain embarrassing,” the comedian probed in mock seriousness.

“Yeah, not ’til hell freezes over,” Shorten chuckled.

Bringing up the times Shorten “helped drag down Kevin Rudd” and then Julia Gillard, Gleeson asked: “Are you sure you that you can have your own full support?”

“Yeah, I am. The Labor Party’s learned its lessons. They were terrible times,” Shorten said.

Then the video of Shorten drunkenly giving a speech to a crowd of rowdy strangers at a pub was brought up.

“Your best performance is when you’re drunk and yelling at students on the street while standing on a milk crate. Have you considered maybe just staying drunk until the election?” Gleeson asked.

Needless to say, Shorten said no, but noted it was a “good YouTube video”.

On a similar note, the politican’s recent car crash was brought up.

“You recently crashed your car into some parked cars. Was that because you were on two phones at the same time?”

“I don’t know where that parked car came from,” he joked.

On Labor’s emissions trading policy and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s criticisms that it will drive up electricity prices, Shorten replied: “Malcolm’s got amnesia. A lot of our policies are similar to what he championed when he last ran the Liberal Party. But he’s had to sell his soul to Mr Abbott’s supporters in the Liberal Party. So, he sold out on climate change.”
