Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing calls to condemn a powerful Victorian union official who is demanding the AFL sack its head of umpiring.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing calls to condemn Victorian CFMEU boss John Setka after the controversial union official demanded the AFL sack its head of umpiring or face retaliation.
Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton condemned Mr Setka’s “utterly unacceptable” threats on Wednesday, before demanding the Prime Minister do the same. Highlighting the $4.3 million the CFMEU devoted to Labor’s last federal election campaign, Mr Dutton questioned why Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had not also condemned the “bullyboy” tactics.
“I think all it demonstrates is how weak and inept the Prime Minister is and I think most Australians are starting to see that now as well.”
