        It’s one rule of law for unions and the small people being fined massive amounts for civil issues, and another for big business like the banks which get a slap on the wrist when they break it.

        That’s a laughably poor defence of the indefensible. Unions deliberately trying to shut down business (who employ the union members btw) should be disbanded. Talk about parasites killing their host!

        They won't pay it (again). There'll be no enforcement (again). They'll continue their illegal boycott (again)... @AustralianLabor will continue to support them.

        A vote for Shorten's Union Labor Party is a vote for the CFMEU and similar. They are like bikie gangs with no control. @chriskkenny @mirandadevine @SkyNewsAust @PeterDutton_MP @Boofboofhead @BigDaveTsv @kelliekelly23 @missie_88 @RitaPanahipic.twitter.com/LRvEKRXxNc

        Where union dues are disappearing @sallymcmanus - this is systemic and beyond farcical. Undoes all your good work.

        The laws are a disgrace. People have had enough of the inequities. Join a Union and make sure the LNP are last on your ballot at the next election. Essential Pole out yesterday 54-46. How many in a row is that?

        Well the CFMEU will increase Union fees to cover the fine , which just proves why Union membership numbers are so pitiful, and falling .

        Because they're hemorrhaging money at an alarming rate.
