Australia has some of the strictest laws on unionism in the entire world.

This is simply not enough for the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in Australia and so they have moved forward with a massive power-grab and a consolidation of power targeting the only large union that is somewhat militant. This just so happens to coincide with a huge cost of living crisis and a housing crisis in Australia as the western economic bloc plunges headlong into another recession.

I'm sure the timing is just a coincidence though.

All of this reporting is being lead by Nick Mckenzie, who is a convenient front for the afp. They tell him what they want him to investigate, and suddenly the public is all riled up and ready for the police crackdown.

It was fine when it w as nazis, but he's done this shit with sex workers, with unions.

death to australia.

Yeah, just a coincidence totally.

Thankfully, based on what I saw today in Naarm/Melbourne, the unions are willing to fight for our rights. I was marching in solidarity with some comrades from the Communist Party of Australia.

"God forgives, but the CFMEU doesn't." is a slogan I saw frequently.
