<p class="">"Bill Shorten must show leadership on the CFMEU or else thuggery will become an acceptable part of Australian politics.
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">The latest demonstration of intimidation by the union â via its Victorian boss John Setka â is the final straw for a union which appears to act as a law unto itself.
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">Mr Shortenâs response to Setkaâs threats was appallingly weak â âthatâs not the way to advance your cause.â
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">Why doesnât Mr Shorten refuse to take the unionâs money?
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">Surely that would show strength of character and leadership.
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">After all, Laborâs greatest living former Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, showed such leadership in the 1980s when he deregistered the Buildersâ Labourers Federation.
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">The BLF had been acting and speaking exactly the same way that the CFMEU are now.
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">Itâs one thing for Mr Shorten to condemn the latest outburst â sort of â but surely the real test of what you think of someone is whether you are prepared to take their money."

Look I'm sorry about the links - I just tried to click on it and got the Australians "subscribe message" - But I was able to access it readily initially from a link on Google News.

I will try to find a more reliable method of passing on information
