Good interview with Adam Bandt on RN Breakfast re why the Greens didn't back the bill on the CFMEU

Sounded like the government could have sat down with the Greens and negotiated something with additional safeguards built in but the government preferred to do a deal with the Liberals

I guess Labor was keen to kill the issue rather than find a way to support the members of one our most powerful unions. Absolutely punish the wrong doing and the leadership but they should be looking after the rank and file members imo
