Bill Shorten silent on UFU control over CFA
Bill Shorten has weighed into the issue of council amalgamations in NSW, but he won’t say a word to condemn the UFU taking control over the CFA in Victoria.
In contrast, Malcolm Turnbull has made clear he will legislate if re-elected to amend the Fair Work Act to prohibit EBAs from giving a union power to undermine the CFA or other volunteer based emergency services.
It leaves a pretty clear choice.
