John Setka
Revision as of 11:24, 12 June 2019 by Robert Brockway (talk | contribs)
John Setka is the Victorian state secretary in the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU). The CFMMEU is a large and powerful Australian union with ties to the Australian Labor Party. The leader of the Australian Labor Party Anthony Albanese has recommended that Mr Setka be expelled from the Labor Party after Mr Setke was alleged to have said that Rosie Batty's campaigning had reduced the rights of men.[1]
Setke denies the allegations and braised Rosie Batty during a press conference.[2] Mr Setke is quoted as having said:
“Every time I see Rosie Batty I want to give her a hug,”[3]
The ALP national executive are expected to address the matter on 5 July 2019.[4]
