<p style="font-size:12.16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Australia largest private sector union, the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA), has been caught out.'

<p style="font-size:12.16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">So OKÂ
- The Union and the 'Big end of town' as Mr Shorten calls it, demonstrate that there is no protection for workers thru organised labor.
- By Mr Shorten calling Turnbull a sucker up to the 'big end of town' - his mates he calls them - he merely confirms what we have known for some time - he is a hypocrite.
<p style="font-size:12.16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">It's time the ALP got it's house in order and put a lot of distance between it and the Union movement - until they do there is a significant credibility gap yawning in front of the electorate.

<p style="font-size:12.16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">How can you trust those who call others 'Mates of the bigend of town' at the same time that another branch of the party is in bed with the 'bigend of town'

<p style="font-size:12.16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">And the result is: the Workers who fund the Union and the party are sold down the river.
