Unions Support Greens In Fight For Senate
Victorian Greens Lead Senate candidate, Dr Richard Di Natale, confirmed today that the Victorian State Council of the ETU last week offered the Greens Senate campaign a public donation of $50,000.
“The Greens are not surprised that the State Council of the ETU, made up of rank and file workers, has made us a generous offer to our Senate campaign. With Labor and Liberal snuggling up to the big end of town, unions understand that The Greens increasingly stand alone as the party prepared to fight for working families. We hope more unions will follow suit” said Dr Di Natale. “Unions understand that Labor can’t win back control of the Senate this election. If Labor is serious about ripping up Work Choices, then only a Senate where Labor and The Greens together have a majority will deliver. |  |
“As the election draws closer, Labor is distancing itself from unions and cozying up to big business. The Greens are the only party left who want to immediately and unequivocally abolish AWAs and the building commission and enshrine the right to strike in law. ”
“It will take two hands to rip up WorkChoices: a Labor government in the Lower House is one hand and The Greens in the Senate is the other.”
