Tens of thousands of tradies across the country have marched in protest against the federal government's decision to put the construction arm of the CFMEU under administration.
“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.
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.
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?

agreed. Is Ferguson always like this? Max did well not getting pushed around.

The interviewer seemed to have a line she was trying to follow, and Max Chandler-Mather wasn’t having a bar of it.

You don’t need good politics in Australia.
It is not a Democracy.
