    “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.

      Not sure whether putting the Construction part of the CFMEU into administration or not is the right decision.

      Even IF the CFMEU is fucked, this is massive overreach, imo. Even if we take the claims at total face value, do they want criminals to not have jobs that pay the bills? Because that’s how you get crime. No one is getting into cooking meth for the funsies.

      That combined with the alignment with union busters makes it pretty clear that this is an attempt to roll back worker conditions.

        So what are we supposed to do here? Let the union clean itself up? We’ve been making that joke a very long time.

      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.

      You don’t need good politics in Australia.

      It is not a Democracy.
