Coronavirus

We're in strife if the government mandates what we can and can't protest about. It's a slippery slope. I get the community transmission issue but if youre worried or vulnerable then get vaccinated.

I reckon only a very small number of CFMEU members would have been at the protest yesterday, and there is little doubt they will be regretting that decision by weekend.

Dealing with the Nazi's will be like shelling peas for the union.

Just spoke to a mate who's in the union... he reckons the majority of the blokes protesting are as he is, subbies who are forced to be union members and reckon they're getting SFA for it.
Lot of angst with Setka over heaps of stuff.
He gave me an example... he works alongside a fellow union member who's on wages doing OT on a Saturday... my mate gets 300... the other bloke 800!

As is always the case in life.... follow the money !

I'm sure there are plenty of members who agreed with the protest, but I don't reckon there would have been many who were foolish enough to do it in front of the union headquarters.

The vast majority protesting are hard working construction workers who don't want the jab. Let's not politicize this by labelling them far right extremists. Alot of them are of hard working ethnic backgrounds who's parents filled up the factories in the 70s and 80s and would be labour voters.

Love how the left and the media in general throw the label neo nazi right wing extremists to discredit people. It's an easy way to win an argument but not helping the situation.

Yet the protests gave clearly been co-opted and fanned by etxrremists eg. Avi Yemeni and others from that sphere.

a few points

- ive worked construction. plenty are hardworking, and plenty of useless bludgers. Ive worked in universities too, with a similar split.
- i didnt want the jab. I still got it.
- i dont care who they vote for, but,
- i reckon the majority of anti-vaxers would either not vote, or vote for some total *smile* like palmer.
- there seems credible anecdotal accounts, that far right have donned hi-viz and taking the opportunity to destabilise as 'construction workers'
- yeah, plenty would be bonafide
