Labor is threatening the Greens with a social media offensive in marginal seats that paints MPs as puppets of disgraced CFMEU boss John Setka unless its bill is passed.
Labor will turn on the Greens and paint them as puppets of disgraced former CFMEU boss John Setka through a social media offensive in marginal seats if the minor party keeps blocking new laws that would force the union into administration.
A meme from the social media campaign Labor is plotting against the Greens, tying them to former CFMEU boss John Setka. “The Greens may see this as a way of getting more donations from John Setka and the CFMEU, but no amount of money is worth supporting corruption, bullying, sexism and thuggery.”“The Greens will always oppose sexism and bullying, but the minister needs to look in the mirror. Labor took millions in donations from the CFMEU in the last decade, not the Greens,” he said.
Labor has historically accepted donations from the CFMEU but its federal executive has banned donations from the Victorian branch. Bandt has not said if his party would do the same but has noted the Greens have not received a donation from the union since 2013.which revealed the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union had been infiltrated by bikies and organised crime, triggering the resignation of Setka, a former Victoria division leader of the union.
