    So their argument is: some other bigwigs were corrupt, and government stuffed up robodebt, therefore we should be allowed to continue being corrupt thugs on building sites! If that’s the best argument they’ve got, they’re in trouble.

      So their argument is:

      No, that’s not what they were saying. For starters, they’re clearly pointing out that the hypocrisy is that “The CFMEU [is being forced into administration] on the back of a handful of rumours and allegations”, contrasting that against the “damning findings” of the Royal commissions which were tolerated, not that the CFMEU “should be allowed to be corrupt” (where did that strawman come from?!). Also, the ETU are not the CFMEU.
