Like throwing out the label 'the left'?

Fair point

 

[Tigers of Old]

Love how the left and the media in general throw the label neo nazi right wing extremists to discredit people. It's an easy way to win an argument but not helping the situation.

You don't need to be a Nazi to be an extremist.

 

[spook]

So don't label them nazis.

Ignorant *smile* is a more accurate term.

 

[Harry]

We're in strife if the government mandates what we can and can't protest about. It's a slippery slope. I get the community transmission issue but if youre worried or vulnerable then get vaccinated.

I reckon only a very small number of CFMEU members would have been at the protest yesterday, and there is little doubt they will be regretting that decision by weekend.

Dealing with the Nazi's will be like shelling peas for the union.

mmm dunno about that.

There members at the Airport were talking about it on Friday & plenty wearing hi vis with Co Logos & names

Just spoke to a mate who's in the union... he reckons the majority of the blokes protesting are as he is, subbies who are forced to be union members and reckon they're getting SFA for it.
Lot of angst with Setka over heaps of stuff.
He gave me an example... he works alongside a fellow union member who's on wages doing OT on a Saturday... my mate gets 300... the other bloke 800!

As is always the case in life.... follow the money !

The anti-vaxxers have done something i thought impossible and that is to elicit a skerrick of public sympathy for John Setka.

careful JB. Remember, your enemy's enemy is not your friend.

this protest yet again sheets back to the Feds.

dutton and morrison have resisted loud long calls to treat australian far right goups the same as terrorists.

chickens roosting

and yeah, plenty of nazis would be construction workers

If he doesnt get vaccinated,he'll get $0,

even on a sunday

 

[DavidSSS]

ahh okay "coercion", yep get it about "choice". haha

I could choose not to work and then I would starve, yes, that too is coercion, but coercion is everywhere in this society.

[Brodders17]

Therein lies the problem for the ALP.

There's too many dumb people in Australia?

 

[Brodders17]

ahh okay "coercion", yep get it about "choice". haha

Don't worry it's all good now. Nobody can work so nobody will be coerced into getting a Covid vaccine.

I'm sure there are plenty of members who agreed with the protest, but I don't reckon there would have been many who were foolish enough to do it in front of the union headquarters.

The vast majority protesting are hard working construction workers who don't want the jab. Let's not politicize this by labelling them far right extremists. Alot of them are of hard working ethnic backgrounds who's parents filled up the factories in the 70s and 80s and would be labour voters.

Yet the protests gave clearly been co-opted and fanned by etxrremists eg. Avi Yemeni and others from that sphere.

Why don't they want to have the jab?

Not sure who Avi is - assuming he's a neo nazi

a few points

- ive worked construction. plenty are hardworking, and plenty of useless bludgers. Ive worked in universities too, with a similar split.
- i didnt want the jab. I still got it.
- i dont care who they vote for, but,
- i reckon the majority of anti-vaxers would either not vote, or vote for some total *smile* like palmer.
- there seems credible anecdotal accounts, that far right have donned hi-viz and taking the opportunity to destabilise as 'construction workers'
- yeah, plenty would be bonafide
