Greens leader Adam Bandt wants to take five key seats from Labor at the federal election – and gaining the loyalty of the union movement is part of his plan.
Greens leader Adam Bandt will ramp up a campaign to defeat Labor in five key seats at the federal election after defending his colleague, Max Chandler-Mather, against claims he endorsed union corruption and thuggery.
Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles said Australians could see the Greens “throw in their lot with thuggery” after the appearance at the rally. “Of course, I don’t agree with those signs, they’re offensive. However, it’s ridiculous to expect a speaker to audit every sign that appears at a rally with thousands of people in attendance,” he said.into allegations of corruption, standover tactics, threats of violence and links to organised crime within the union.
Bandt will fly to Brisbane in the coming days to campaign in Moreton, where Labor MP Graham Perrett is retiring at the election and Greens candidate Remah Naji, a Palestinian Australian, is seeking to win the seat in the same way the party won the nearby seats of Brisbane, Griffith and Ryan at the last election.
