@act-crusader Gotta love Unions - "we're all in this together provided it works exactly how I want". Setka is a piece of work, no doubt, and looks to be clinging desperately to whatever semblance of power the nepotism allows.
Had to love this quote from some random, referencing Croatia:
“Those boys fought against communism. Now we are staring down the barrel of communism again,” the man yelled. “No f---ing c--- is going to put a vaccine inside me.”
Good thing we've still got enough socialism in this country that you get health care for free - including vaccines. Of course if enough outbreaks continue at construction sites, when these vaccines are readily available, the ICUs will be flooded, but carry on being outraged.

I have no idea how this is all going to play out. Marching as CFMEU has dones several times just since i moved to melbourne is one thing....yesterday was mad
will dan back down, dont know, it would undermine everything else hes rightly or wrongly done in the last 18 months, he may just say "fuck em"
talking to people yesterday they may have gone too far this time, lots of people thought the unions had too much power before COVID...then even more got bit annoyed when they were able to keep working when so many people didn't...but then to throw their toy like that when the most obvious reason (i know there is other stuff) is something the vast majority of the population is doing (getting the shot)
...its going to be an interesting few days

@kiwiwomble it is fucking bullshit. I'm honestly sick of people who don't want a vaccine.
I'd tell some of these guys to fuck off back to Croatia, but you're not allowed to enter the country without proof of vaccination
-
these vaccine targets are like the worst group assignment ever. I've done my bit, now i have to wait and hope some other fuckwit does theirs. And on time.

you mean yesterday? there were buses full of them going around, they seem to be trying to avoid the kind of front on confrontations they had been criticised for previously

Consistency isn't asking a lot is it?
It seems the polling has gotten through to caucus, with police turning up to quell yesterday's protests.

Consistency gets you so far, but you've got to pick your battles in law enforcement I think. No point getting a stack of cops hospitalised when the mob has a skinful and a bit of meth in the system.

As I said, it looks like they're prepared.

They were driving around last night in that big Bearcat they bought. Get some water cannon on those!

It was a joke. Maybe not the greatest, and maybe a football joke on a rugby site wasn't the best idea.

just in case you think things are not actually that crazy in australia
A Melbourne fan who was photographed partying with players after the Grand Final has been arrested after allegedly sneaking into Perth and illegally attending the match. Hayden Burbank, the owner of Prahran bar Morris Jones, was taken into custody in WA’s south west on Tuesday with suspicions he and friend Mark Babbage breached border restrictions to attend the game. If found guilty the pair face 12 months in jail or a $50,000 fine.
