Why won't it be called?
Because Chris Bowen doesn't have his hand up Turnbull's arse, like the Unions have up Bill's.

The Labor Party was created by Unions, for Unions (and workers).

Why do you have a problem with them controlling the party?

Business unions control the Liberal Party.

Well Gee gweggy thanks for telling me stuff I already knew.
But hey I move with the times and they are hardly representative of that today.

How many people now are part of a Union and don't have to be?
Given that why should they be running Labor?

Nonsense: the Labor Party was created by Unions, for Unions (i.e. workers) and that's still who they represent today.

And, nobody has to be part of a Union.

Union membership is very low at the moment, but that doesn't mean that the Unions shouldn't be in control of their own party.

Who would you rather see running the Labor Party, if not the Unions?

Hate to tell you this but 2 jobs I had, I had to join the Union...

And buddy have you never heard of NO TICKET NO START ?

This is a bluff - that cannot be enforced by law

Quote:

ABCC Commissioner Stephen McBurney said there is no place for ‘no ticket no start’ practices on Australian construction sites.

“The law is clear. Workers are protected from discrimination or victimisation due to their membership, or non-membership, of a union.

"To threaten someone else’s livelihood because they exercise their right to decide whether to join or not join a union is unacceptable and unlawful.”

That's true. It doesn't say it cannot be enforced.

"Court penalises CFMEU “gatekeeper” for enforcing ‘no-ticket, no-start’ on Melbourne construction site"

https://www.abcc.gov.au/news-and-media/latest-news-and-media/court-penalises-cfm...

Merely that it has no force in law. But we know the CFMEU considers itself to be above that. Wink
