Unions provided over $16.7 million in funding to the ALP, and also spent $22 million on their own campaigns supporting Labor.

Dear
Friend,
Yesterday, the Australian Electoral Commission revealed that in 2021-22, unions provided over $16.7 million in funding to the ALP.

This included $4.3 million from the militant CFMMEU.

Last year, unions also spent $22 million on their own campaigns supporting Labor.

So is it any wonder Labor puts union bosses first?

In November, Labor and the Greens rammed through extreme industrial relations changes that are a throwback to the 1980s.

These new laws move bargaining from an enterprise level (e.g., in the business you work in) to bargaining across multiple workplaces and potentially a whole industry.

This massively expands union power, enabling them to operate in tens of thousands of small businesses they currently have no connection to.

Labor’s new laws mean multiple sectors could engage in economy-wide strikes.

There was no mention of this by Labor before the election.

However, after the election, Labor moved to deliver for their union bosses.

Meanwhile, inflation has now reached its highest level since 1990. This puts further pressure on interest rates.

Unfortunately, Labor does not have a plan to tackle these cost of living pressures.

Instead, their new laws will put more pressure on small businesses and supply chains.

Union bosses will keep funding Labor’s political machine.

The Liberal Party will fight for small businesses and Australia’s economic future.

Regards,
Liberal HQ
