CFMEU National Secretary Zach Smith at Housing Justice Summit

Friday Oct 13, 2023

Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union national secretary Zach Smith addresses the national Housing Justice Summit. Smith explained the CFMEU's campaign for a super profits tax to build public and community housing.

He also addressed housing activists questions about whether 'Green Bans' or 'Black Bans' could be put on public housing estates that are under threat of demolition.

The Housing Justice Summit was organised by Action for Public Housing and brought together hundreds of housing activists from across the country to discuss people-first solutions to the housing crisis.

The summit was supported by many housing campaign groups including Anti-Poverty Network (South Australia), Save Barak Beacon, South East Queensland Union of Renters, University of Sydney Student Representative Council, National Union of Students 'Get a Room' Campaign, Antipoverty Centre (New South Wales), Renters and Housing Union (Victoria) and more.

Albanese’s Labor: Sacrificing principle for power?

Thursday Sep 28, 2023

This episode features talks by Sue Bull (union activist and member of Socialist Alliance), Zane Alcorn (CFMMEU member, Earthworker Construction coop member, Socialist Alliance member and People’s Blockade organiser) and Chloe DS (refugee rights activist, 3CR presenter and Green Left journalist) at a Melbourne forum on August 26.

Since Albanese's Labor government has been in power, it has continued to roll out many of the Coalition's unpopular policies such as the Stage 3 tax cuts, and the controversial AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine deal.

In addition to spending tax-payer money in ways that further the interests of the ruling-class, this government has refused to support practical measures that could improve the quality of life for all Australians, such as capping rents during a cost-of-living and housing crises.

Every time that the Albanese government is criticised for not carrying out serious reforms that help working class people or the environment, the refrain “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” gets rolled out to silence progressive critics.

Why is the government refusing to carry out serious progressive reforms? What is the essence of the ALP government? Is the ALP ruling for the rich or the working class? Have ALP governments always been like this?
