Protesters have started gathering at CFMEU headquarters in Melbourne as a line of police forms around the building, a day after “absolutely outrageous” protests that led to windows being smashed, projectiles getting thrown at senior officials, and riot police using rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
“They weren’t the majority there, there was a small minority of construction workers there, some of them when it all got violent they just walked away from it. It was hijacked by the professional protesters, wherever they go, they just want to pick a fight.“They’re not even union members, they’re not members of our union. And that’s a disappointing thing and to see these people hurl projectiles and other people smashing in property it’s just absolutely disgusting.
“We’re pro-vaccine, we’ve run radio ads encouraging our members to get vaccinated because as far as we’re concerned, we think that’s the road map out of this lockdown because we can’t stay in lockdown for forever and a day,” Mr Setka said.
Stephen77056387 Lots of nice new HiVis and hardhats there🤔 FakeTradies
The Westgate bridge is sacred ground to union members and tradies. None of them would have desecrated that and they would be furious with those who have faketradies auspol sallymcmanus michelleoneillau

Why were army handled these low lives theage
No....no thays your voter base right there shorten
Any proof of that?
urine takes it too far. anti vaxxers are anti life as well , go and see overseas on internet /news etc. The only ones in hospital on a ventilator are the non-vaccinated. Dare anyone to prove me wrong.
These neo-nazis
Your members 💁🏻♀️
The Union Movement needs to clearly & strongly deregister any union official or member who organized or attended today. The employer groups need to strongly apply all orders & requirements. The Police need to identify, charge & publicize many as they can who attended today.
They’ve published their list of demands 😂
Love me some Shorten Zingers! ManBabyNazis
billshortenmp you summed them up perfectly! Now to take away their white cards
He has sold his soul to the govt
FakeTradies NotCFMEU Riotnotaprotest Do better.
Wow, what an amatuer rag you have calling this a CFMEU protest. Couldn't you at least hire one professional to report on matters like this, the facts matter, verification matters, I know, it doesn't matter to propagandists but at least try to do news...
Ladies and gentlemen , he government of politicians the way it governed it used humanity right abuse . After my observation I found many country using humanity right. As As A son of queen Visit this link 👇
Bogans
MSMWatchdog2013 Onya Bill! That’s exactly what they are.
Stupid comment by Shorten. That said, these people are acting like thugs and getting all hot and bothered about nothing. Just get vaxxed, what’s the big deal. Or don’t, and find another job. Feel sorry for the tradies who are or will be vaxxed. These tools are hurting them.
Shame shame !!! FakeTradie BadTradie
Meanwhile NewsCorp stokes the fires and then tries to act innocent. Rupert media is a far right terrorist organisation. It needs to be taken down and dismantled.
Wow all 300 of them 🤣 not even 1%
john_cronin48 Yeah, you know...Alt-right (neonazis), Qanon, serial agitators, Bunnings Karen, etc. Btw. Did you know that discount stores sell highvis shirts, vests, & jackets? Any yahoo with a few bucks can buy the gear & rock up to any construction site, & make trouble. Look for badges.
If you don’t want a vaccine that makes you politically hard- right? So all the Byron Bay hippy anti-vaxers are far-right?
403 direct links. Can you ask how many people (family, etc) have got it from the 403 people. Important to see that figure.
I hope Murdoch ans Costello are pleased with themselves
I have little doubt and will take a lot to convince me otherwise, that this isn't staged in some way by the thugs at CMFEU.
Yet the “journalists” who first reported this event didn’t seem to notice all the known faces in the crowd. It’s almost as if The Age is part of the problem.
man baby nazis - perfectly said.
Sell out Setka! Spit roasted by government one end and bikies the other!
Rubbish. Just fed up union members. Unions = irrelevant in 2021
Bunnings karen the attention seeking anti masker from last year was there yesterday too.
Incredibly disrespectful of Bill Shorten. Does he know who the Nazis were and what they did? auspol
Protesters against government policy are now labelled ‘Nazis’ by the ALP? Weirdly, criminalising protest is precisely what Nazis do. So who shall guard the guardians?
The only Nazi in Victoria is running our state Bill.
Ok, Zinger unlocked
What evidence was there they were Nazis? And secondly they weren’t union members?
Actual tradies with any respect for Australians, medical professionals or their industry completely denounce the utter bullshit that went on yesterday.
And Rita Panahi today, Herald Sun, sides with the violent protesters with her usual boring anti Dan stories. It’s all about the politics with Rita - a disgusting journo who like Bolt is just interested in the right wing ideology and finds any nook to do so.

Police union slams 'criminal' actions of Melbourne anti-lockdown protestersVictoria&x27;s police union has slammed the "criminal" actions of hundreds of anti-lockdown protestors in Melbourne yesterday, after 10 police officers were injured in the chaos. The police incited the violence. how about looking at the live feed and give us informed unbiased journalism for a change. These criminals? Imagine being in your 70's, knocked arse up on the road, then pepper sprayed by two cops, who can clearly see you're in you 70's and pretty much incapacitated after being body slammed.
