"You didn't win this race - we ran side by side."

No Foxy you were the first to question the figures based on your perception of photograaphs of protests. You won that dubious race.

But to your credit you were the first to realise your error. So....well done.

Hi Nathan,

In general I agree with your comment, not that the Greens MP should have address the rally, but I don't think someone in the crowd should be painting Albo as Hitler, although they may feel strongly about the issue. Yes, like any large or small organisation there can be "rotten apples" in the barrel, unions are no exception. Having said that I agree with the principles of unionism, and the fight for workers rights.

p/s A case in question, over $40 billion illegally owed in unpaid superannuation.

There is a need for 'unions'.
However, they must be carefully controlled by their membership.
Just as governments are (hopefully) controlled by the people.
And unions need to be far more open to scrutiny.
Just as democratic governments are.
At present they appear to be a hub for all kinds of illicit behaviour.
I am relying on the veracity of news reports when I say this.
The government, which is the ultimate controlling body, has moved to do something about it.
They could not do otherwise.
And we would expect no less of them.
