    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.
