Labor Tribune

Labor Tribune is a voice for the Marxist Left in the Australian labour movement.

More strikes for an extra few percentage-points pay rise is syndicalism, not socialism.

@AEUFederal Victoria teachers need politics, not economism.

Hey @AlboMP. Think you might have credibility criticising China’s missile test if you:

1. Signed the Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons
2. Dumped AUKUS
3. Didn’t allow B52s to use Tindal
4. Didn’t sell uranium to nuke-armed power that refuses to sign the non-proliferation treaty?

Telstra outage shows that our essential services should not be hived off and diced up for shareholder profit.

Such 'natural monopolies' should be nationalised under democratic control of workers and consumers.

You wouldn’t know it listening to this government, but real wages in Australia since 2001 have fallen, including in the 12 months to March 2026.

We must unshackle the unions and repeal the Fair Work Act, which makes most industrial action unlawful

And @SenatorWong @RichardMarlesMP @AlboMP still cling to the fantasy of a ‘rules-based international order’.

This is the guy making the rules and they just follow them.

Trump on Balogun:

Balogun is our best player. He got a red card. I didn't know what that meant, but then I heard that it means you cannot play in the next game.

That's very unfair. How do you penalize him for a game that hasn't been played yet?

I asked for a review by FIFA.

Cops out of conference!

Police have no place inside what should be a democratic parliament of the working class.

Instead we have a stage-managed anodyne rally where silent peaceful dissent gets ripped out by force

A complete travesty but the logic of supporting imperialism

NSW Police have forcibly removed a Palestinian flag at NSW Labor State Conference. #auspol #nswconference

NSW 'Left' faction boss @ayrestim making it clear that protecting slumlords living off the rents of working-class people is a "very important principle" of his faction and his government.

He even throws in a Bjelke-Petersen 'don't you worry about that' for good measure

[Labor Tribune @TribuneLabor]

Are you 'allowed' to like the Socceroos and still be suspicious of the politics wrapped around them? Of course you are. In fact, if you are a socialist, you should be

NSW ALP is trying to ensure there is no debate at state conference on AUKUS, Gaza and the Iran war despite dozens of branch motions on those matters.

PM @AlboMP very worried about impacts of a war that he supports

No, it’s not The Onion

It’s the tortured utterings of a political line that ties Australia’s fortunes to US militarism

The labour movement needs to reject militarism, imperialism and war

Arguing One Nation is ‘beyond the pale’ normalises LNP + other forms of bigoted national chauvinism

It also places the ‘left’ in the camp of the liberal mainstream making it incapable of leading an anti-establishment working class movement from the left

Unlike other ITF affiliates such as the @RMTunion the MUA has remained silent amid calls for the @ITFglobalunion general-secretary to stand down during investigations into allegations of sexual harassment.

State conference @VictorianLabor voted against Albanese's support for Trump's war on Iran. Hamish McPherson reports on what was a mostly stage-managed affair.

The @VictorianLabor state conference opposes Iran war

The Enhanced Games open on 24 May in Las Vegas, the brainchild of Australian capitalist Aron D’Souza. Jack Hynes and Thomas Heenan write in praise of imperfection.

We wish it were true… while it is good to see the rich and their media toadies choking over being taxed like the rest of us, this is a ‘balanced’ budget to manage capitalism

Aimed at a ‘generational fix’ it is not aimed at putting the working class into power, where we belong

Which country is considered the greatest threat to the world, by country. No surprises here:
