“The government is not for turning and nor is the Australian public — they want to see this industry cleaned up,” he said. (Aparently Albanese said this)
Do we have a Labor government or Thatcher?? Not sure whether putting the Construction part of the CFMEU into administration or not is the right decision. But aligning yourself with historic union busting figures? Albanese is insane to think this is good politics.
Good to here Max Chandler Mather out there again showing some solidarity.

agreed. Is Ferguson always like this? Max did well not getting pushed around.
Seriously, watching that interview is a little painful with all the interrupting to try and railroad the conversation, and attaching weird attacks and assertions to make loaded questions, or rather, framing a claim as a question. I haven’t seen it so bad outside of Faux News in the US.
Glad to hear Max got a quick mention of the Green Bans of the BLF in.
The interviewer seemed to have a line she was trying to follow, and Max Chandler-Mather wasn’t having a bar of it.
This article from David Spears, i think, explains Ferguson’s line of questioning. Basically the ABC have drawn an optics comparison between that and Tony Abbott’s ditch the witch protest speech. And yeah there is similarity.
In both cases though, was it worth the media being distracted over the signs and forgetting the issues at hand?
You don’t need good politics in Australia.
It is not a Democracy.
I’ve missed this I ln it’s entirety somehow, I used to be a CFMEU member and this isn’t the first time unsanctioned protests will cause massive hardship yo Australian families because they have inconvenienced the government .
Unions are the only reason we get paid ok and aren’t marches into our deaths every day for some billionair who sees us as renewable
Funny how this isn’t seen as a consequence of their actions by politicians. They want people to get angry at the workers and ignore it’s their policies/actions that cause these things to happen.
We were all sold down the river by the Hawk-Keating government. Strikes are NOT supposed to be sanctioned by employers and government. It’s the worker’s right to withdraw labour. No wonder we get to eat shit at the end of a stick.
CFMEU on-site have always been bullies.
I know people who put stickers on their hard hats to avoid getting bullied
They’re not really about the workers honestly.
I got told off onsite by CFMEU for the stupidest things, that were clearly just them swinging their dicks around so I knew they were in charge
