Tens of thousands of tradies across the country have marched in protest against the federal government's decision to put the construction arm of the CFMEU under administration.
Don’t disagree. But Max-Chandler’s comparison with banking, and religious institutions kind of makes that a hard argument to make.
Why are we suddenly seeing such hard and fast political reaction against the unions when theft, collusion, and some of the worst criminal behaviour imagineable, has been committed and Governments have taken a slow approach, and in other cases not seemed to pull their finger out at all.
I think its the comparison and rhetoric that really smells here, because lets be honest, administration isn’t shutting down the union, some people will lose their jobs, but the representation of workers will probably be maintained… in this present case.

Ooh, got a link to Max’s comments on it?
Its actually a snip from the ‘7:30’ interview the ABC embedded in the article page linked. I missed it the first time i read through it.
This should be it on iview as well, https://iview.abc.net.au/show/7-30/series/0/video/SEGS2024104277434
Also noticed this one from Adam Bandt, i haven’t watched it, but it might add context,
