        This is unfair, unnecessary and against international conventions on trade union membership and activism. Yet another attempt by this conservative government to silence workers so they can hold onto political and economic power.

        This sounds awfully contrary to implied freedom of political communication arising out of our constitution. Where are the @CFMEU lawyers?

        FFS! Are we being governed by a mob of spiteful kindy bullies. who refuse to play fair with the other kids? Yes we are. When they're voted out, they can be dragged before Labor's federal ICAC.l

        Agreed mate. But maybe take your own advice and not haul the Labor members through a whole lot of factional pain for no good reason either.
