    “Unprotected industrial actions are unlawful and can attract penalties including disciplinary action by employers and being sued by anyone affected by the action, such as businesses who have lost money as a result.”

    Damn Australia, following the playbook from my homeland. Nowhere is safe from neoliberalism.

      Australia has been an extension of the US since 1975, unfortunately.

    Everyone is acting like the CFMEU is some sort of Socialist Democratic Union. It’s not. The Problem with the CFMEU (and in particular: the construction division)is that it’s a total top down hierarchy that’s dominated by thugs and criminals.

      The problem with the government is that it’s a top-down hierarchy that’s dominated by thugs and criminals.
