All good, do you think the divide has become less diverse, an either or debate?
Do you think that people are grouped regardless, more indoctrinated think.

It's been a hectic week for me but I just watched it. I'm pretty sure I don't have the same political views in general as the guy but I thought it was pretty reasonable and reflects a lot of what I've said over the years in this thread

No thoughts?

The stumbling block will be Hansen who’s got her nose out of joint because the Libs prioritised Labor ahead of her party in some seats at the last election. Tough to predict this one.

Wonder how this new Senate will go with the Medivac revocation bill.

They also fit right in there with the defunct BLF.

Setka is a clone of Norm Gallagher.

Here is something that your bully corrupt union won’t give you - an update on their new name lol

Yeah, nah?

It kills me to side with paulc but they have combined with the maritime union to incorporate a larger force. All the more reason for libs and their fan boys to go after them.

Yeh because it's a good idea to give someone you don't like your money...LOL

So lket me get this straight!

You don't like the guy but you still give the organization he runs some money! lol

Oh lord, give me strength....

Yep. He'll  fit right in with them. Setka is an oldboy.  

That’s what I’ve been thinking of lol, Painters and Dockers

Most members hate the guy. The hierachy are shit scared of him.  If you see or meet him in person you understand why. Guy has a aura which is fuck with me and your dead. He is a product of a bygone era where bully boy tactics and intimidation was the go to. He would fit right in in the old painters and dockers union.

Setka's a grub.  The union movement needs to kick him and other clowns like him out and get back to what they used to be about.

When the leader of a union looks and acts like a member of a bike gang you know they've lost the plot.

Bernadi rejoining the Libs?

Yuck stay out.

Yeah nah. I'm a cfemu member bro so yeah nah. 

Correct, well in respect to Setka anyway and he is their number one.

He is going to court again and has a terrible list of breaches and illegal activities as long as your arm going over the last few years. Not to mention he is unfit in character to head sch a powerful and influential organisation.

Aren't they found to have links with outlaw Bikie Groups?

Wrong mon, it’s the CFMMEU these days. Get with it.

What's the CFMMEU? It's the cfmeu ffs . And lol proof of that mon?? 

Didn’t know there were timing restrictions. 

It’s on all stations bro. Must hurt some the CFMMEU have threatened to pull out from funding the ALP

I'm pretty much pro mining in all forms but seriously it's amazing how blatant some of the cheerleading for mines is.  Good investment by the Minerals Council.  :laugh:

I must admit, I find this whole factional cracking within the Union movement quite fascinating.

This whole situation about Setka's comments and the brimfire response from ALP and the ATCU to be hilarious, clearly a House of Cards power play to remove a powerful figure within the movement.

I'm still trying to find and exact quote as to what he said. Each article coming out about it descends deeper and deeper into the language and metaphor of his comments; "denigrating, vile, disposing" etc.

The sans edition is that he said Rosey Battie's work has resulted in less rights for men. Something that people at the meeting said didn't happen.

While I don't agree with the comments made, it does seem to be a massive storm in a teacup.

Looks like a loose thread in a shirt that those withing the UM decide to try and use to unravel him, which doesn't seem to be working so well now that multiple other unions have come out I. Support of him lol.

With the way Sally McManus has been doing the rounds in the media the last few weeks (and years to an extent), wouldn't be surprised if she's Labor leader within the next 7-10 years.

Peta Credlin's Adani puff piece is genuinely hilarious.

This video makes a lot of sense with what is happening at the moment in Australia, it never used to be like it is now. At first when I saw it I wasn't sure about a few things, but a little think and the observations he makes are pretty spot on I think.

😅😅😅🤣🤣 I find it amusing that you never ever entered et. Then all of sudden you're here. Hello mon

You’re kidding right? Just today the CFMMEU has threatened to stop  funding the ALP because of Labor’s attempts to have their union leader’s membership cancelled. It was mentioned on TV political shows that in this recent election an accumulative $17 mill went from the unions to Labor.
