Paul 1405, ".. the CFMEU and the Commancheros donate exactly the same amount of money to The Greens as they do to The Liberal Party. I can't speak for the ALP"

So you allege. However, here is proof that the Greens accept political donations from the CTMEU:

Greens defend CFMEU donation

The CFMEU is reported to have links with organised crime and the Commanchero OMC.

Now what about you back your allegations up with proof?

Spot on there Indi, the Usual Suspects are at it again, with their anti-union anti-worker rants As you say "Sounds like the morons are in full swing imagination paranoia mode again." Keep up the good work comrade!

Beach, no need to worry about donations to The Greens, its some of those shadowy front organisations and foreign interests corperations donating to the Liberal Party one should be concerned with. They represent vested interests wanting, and getting, political favor.
The Liberal Party, and for that matter the Labor Party have that many owners, those that have bought a share in them through political cash giving, that they couldn't possibly pass enough favorable legislation to satisfy them all, but its not through a lack of trying, is it? You also failed to mention that the CFUME gave $50,000 at the last election to Katters United Party and nothing to The Greens.

here is a big list for you

Paul even with the emergence of a second raving far right poster my thread is a truth the movements needs to confront.
http://www.smh.com.au/national/cfmeu-veteran-received-death-threats-after-blowing-whistle-20140128-31kvb.html
See my point of view *we must confront our wrongs*
*Or stop trying to uncover others, true unionism is the victim here, and it exists.
Try to put your self in my shoes, being constantly at war with these thugs, having no choice but to confront them or fail my members.
Solidarity was once a proud word it no longer is.
I rebut firmly, your thought I should just ride out the storm pretending it will fix its self.
We now have a Royal Commission.
It will hurt, and force home the view it should have been us the trade union movement who first took the broom to our own rats in the ranks.
By the way the CFMEU has constantly tried to infiltrate the greens.
In my work area they had achieved that even openly inviting votes for them.

Unionism is an enigma. It's supposed to be good but only ever results in corruption. It even corrupts the few it actually helps. it's supposed to help the workers but actually propels prices out of workers' reach. In the early days Unions were good but that didn't last long & nowadays they're simply syndicates for people with no integrity. Those who have integrity are lost in the trample for position.
