Greens firebrand Max Chandler-Mather infuriated the government by backing the CFMEU at the nationwide protests.
Labor has accused the Greens of grandstanding in front of thousands of angry union members in a powerplay for support at the next election, after the CFMEU took to the streets to oppose a federal intervention to stamp out criminal behaviour.
The Greens are targeting Labor marginal electorates at the next election after stunning the major parties with victories in three Brisbane seats in 2022, raising concerns in the government about union volunteers backing the minor party. “I’m never surprised to see Max Chandler-Mather grandstanding in front of a crowd. It’s what he lives for,” Watt told this masthead.
“We will be doing a High Court challenge as a matter of urgency, and I’ll be the applicant,” he said.“This is going to be the biggest challenge and the biggest fight that we’ve ever had, but we’re all up for it, you’ve got to get control of your union back, you will never allow a government takeover again.”
