Don't bother quoting the Australian mate, it's not a legitimate news source.Maritime?

Mr Setka has also denied the claims and refused to resign.

Should we feel for hitlers wife, a war lords wife etc etc
We should hold all people to account especially bad parenting which includes choosing **** partners that places themselves, their kids, family and friends at risk.
If the warning signs weren’t there, I would agree with you......but what does one expect from a rapist and known DV threat?
She’s pathetic and let herself and child down
Like the ABC heyDon't bother quoting the Australian mate, it's not a legitimate news source.
MehTalk about a sticky situation.
Meh
Libs were an unmitigated ****show for 6 years and got re-elected.
Seriously though you'd think Labor actually WON the election just going on the rhetoric of the past 3 weeksTo the surprise of absolutely everybody.
Time will tell.
Un-Civil War in the ALP?
Will the union push out their guy so the new ALP leader can virtue signal? Is anyone fodder for a political point?
It's more of a voyeuristic interest.A lot of concern trolling by those who don't like unions or Labor in here.
It was always going to come to a point when the ALP reached next to it in bed and pulled out Green policy. The unions didn't make a fuss when their party was actively working against their interests because once they won government they would be able to scratch the back in return, the unions would get their rewards.
But they lost. The ALP had the choice to return to it's roots and support the interests of it's workers and union members but it appears to be doubling down on it's move left.
At this rate the unions will be backing another party by the time the election rolls around and the rust holding on a significant number of ALP voters will have burned off.
Pre-election: You just can't trust Shorten and Labor, they're too close to the CFMEU.A lot of concern trolling by those who don't like unions or Labor in here.
They're so far left now, why are they selling out on their sensible centrist roots? What about the workers?! After consulting the horse shoe, I now know they are basically fashs.Pre-election: You just can't trust Shorten and Labor, they're too close to the CFMEU.
Post-election: Tsk, tsk, elitist Labor selling out working class voters and the CFMEU.
These can both be true tbh. Shorten relied more on a union base than Albanese will, who comes from the student politics class of Labor MPs.Pre-election: You just can't trust Shorten and Labor, they're too close to the CFMEU.

You know as well I do that Albanese giving a rancid CFMEU official a kick in the arse doesn't mean the Labor Party is about disconnect from the union movement. It's the only thing keeping the party together and one of the few powerful civil society bases you could even draw a coherent political party from.These can both be true tbh. Shorten relied more on a union base than Albanese will, who comes from the student politics class of Labor MPs.
Extremely offensive post.You need to have a look at yourself.

Not in reality, but that’s what the left wing online punters want! Give them what they want I say.You know as well I do that Albanese giving a rancid CFMEU official a kick in the arse doesn't mean the Labor Party is about disconnect from the union movement.
Yes, but I'd put the groups differently.
Inner city progressive left Vs the Industrial left.
All part of a longer term shift in the 'soul of the party'.
The progressives tolerated the industrial left because they provided muscle and money. Now they don't fit their ideological purity, they battle is on.
As others have noted, the battleground is significant...Dozens of criminal charges have been ignored over an extended period of time, but criticising/questioning a progressive icon is absolutely unacceptable.
