Say what you will about John Setka – at least he had the sense to resign. The same can’t be said of certain others, who cling to their well-paid jobs as Rome burns.
Say what you will about John Setka , at least he had the sense to quit the CFMEU when it became clear the rot infesting his union could no longer be papered over.
Which brings me back to the CFMEU. Watching its national secretary Zach Smith repeatedly insist the union is committed to reform has been excruciating. It’s possible that Smith genuinely believes his rhetoric that the CFMEU can wash its own dirty laundry, but it remains utterly meaningless while three vastly more powerful and allegedly corrupt bosses within the union refuse to stand down.
The publicity storm around Setka’s resignation obscured the fact that a fellow union official, a Bandidos bikie senior enforcer, resigned with him. Yep. You read it correctly. A Bandido was on the Victorian CFMEU branch’s powerful governing body.
