Peter Dutton on Peter Reith: “Peter’s political legacy is extensive. He will be remembered most, however, for his fearlessness in the face of extreme union intimidation – especially by freeing up the waterfront to ensure Australia had a more productive, forward-looking economy.”
At #ITFAP22 we had our work translated into 5 languages, 188 affiliates from 25 countries in the region. Proudly, I was elected to represent 600,000 young workers in our region. @MichMyersMUA was elected as the womens rep. International solidarity builds real power for workers!

The Liberal party delayed super increases a few years ago - real wages haven't grown.
The LNP have forced workers to use their super so they could funnel cash to business through JobKeeper.
Workers are over due for the scheduled increase and a payrise!
