Protests and fights breaking out in the city, no cops to break it up. Oh that’s right, it’s just the Union so they can do as they please. I’m guessing the recruits who graduated on Friday can’t shove CFMEU members to the ground as easily as old ladies so they’ll leave them be.
1 rule for the Andrew’s government’s supporters, another for the rest. |

Interesting scenario, seems the people were actually protesting to the CFMEU about the government mandating vaccinations in the construction industry, so it wasn't actually a CFMEU demonstration.

To be fair, the cops were there and focused on maintaining the peace. Anyone breaking the law should have been arrested, yes. Unlike a protest march through the city, this was a localised protest and the protesters weren't focused on assaulting Police.
I actually LOL'd at some of the protesters calling Setka "Dan's Bitch" when the reverse has been said of Dan, yet Setka denies ever having met Andrews. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Yep, potential for the Construction industry to be shut down. I hope that isn't across the board as most small tradies who sub contract to the industry aren't fans or members of the CFMEU and have no time for them.
Interesting scenes and vids here https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/daniel-andrews-slams-tradies-as-protests-heat-up/news-story/955d0f06f3e0115bc2a7252e98094193
As an aside, the CFMEU is an amalgamation of a number of different unions, some of which are actively going through the process to withdraw from the amalgamation due to concerns over Setka. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

They were focused on attacking Setka and damaging the building. Then when police finally showed up they turned in the police trying to break it up.
It’s almost like police trying to break up protests results in them being targeted rather than that being peoples sole aim at the start… |

Bunch of mouth breathing meaty bites, they've been programmed to attack Police so once they showed up in force, said meaty bites forgot their original mission and returned to normal programming. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

A leak. Who'd have thunk it? From The Age's blog:
Quote: | Victorian government to announce two-week closure of construction industry
By Paul Sakkal
The construction industry in Victoria will be shut down for two weeks, The Age has confirmed.
Three industry and union stakeholders have been told the Andrews government will announce the closure on Monday night after a day of violent protests outside the CFMEU’s head office in Melbourne.
The announcement is expected to be made at about 7pm AEST.
Only select critical infrastructure works such as hospitals and some ongoing level crossing removal works, which require swift progress to reopen train lines, will continue during the shutdown. |
And an update:

The chickens are coming home to roost for Setka and the CFMEU.
Years of employing militant tactics is coming back to bite them hard now. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |
