IIRC July was also at the start of the CFMEU allegations, before the corrupt government administration came into effect.

The CFMEU had around 125,000 members as of a year ago, and obviously we can’t assume they’ll all follow their leaders’ advice and swing lefter-than-Labor but having seen the huge presence of other union members marching along side them and having seen the former Labor supporters in my union express their shock and betrayal, there’s a real chance of that big chuck of the labour movement abandoning Labor.
