Unions join Voice destruction campaign

Australia’s fake left is in all sorts of trouble.

Trade unions – including the union of Indigenous land rights activist Eddie Mabo – are vowing to mobilise their members and actively campaign for a voice to parliament across social media, workplaces, universities and neighbourhoods, amid falling support for the advisory body.

In classic fake left style, Labor and the unions have concluded that the problem is the message, not the reality.

From the vantage point of fake left moral superiority, workers are racist and must be hectored into line.

Lost on the phonies is that their entire enterprise is miscuing versus community expectations.

They tolerate unions – and their rank-and-file corruption – for the same reason.

Sadly, the fake left has created a doom loop for the Voice. The more it doubles down on ignoring workers, the more support the Voice will lose.
