We’ve had Royal commissions into the severe misconduct of the banking and finance sector, the Robodebt scandal, and the aged care sector. Each of these Royal commissions had DAMMING FINDINGS, yet NOT ONE person lost their job, NOT ONE company was put into administration, and NOBODY went to JAIL!
The CFMEU on the other hand - one of Australia’s strongest unions, is now FORCED straight into administration on the back of a handful of rumours and allegations.
The HYPOCRISY is staggering!!
We call on all jobs to stop at 10am this Tuesday to support the CFMEU and attend a Rally at the State Library[*] 11am sharp!
Let’s fight for our wages and conditions!
Let’s fight for the future!
Let’s all stand together!
SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!
* Note the venue has genuinely changed to Trades Hall as of about 11 AM today.
So their argument is: some other bigwigs were corrupt, and government stuffed up robodebt, therefore we should be allowed to continue being corrupt thugs on building sites! If that’s the best argument they’ve got, they’re in trouble.
No, that’s not what they were saying. For starters, they’re clearly pointing out that the hypocrisy is that “The CFMEU [is being forced into administration] on the back of a handful of rumours and allegations.”, not that they “should be allowed to be corrupt” (where did that strawman come from?!). Also, the ETU are not the CFMEU.
