Construction union CFMEU launches #realtradies counter attack ad
Amid an online debate over the authenticity of the tradie in a new Liberal Party attack ad, the Construction Forestry Mining Energy Union has fired back with its own ‘real tradie’ ad.
The ad, which begins with construction workers holding signs reading: “Dear Malcolm, your #faketradie ad is terrible”, targets the Coalition over a range of policies including wages policy, training for young people, immigration and Medicare.
The one-and-a-half-minute online ad was posted last night with Victorian CFMEU state secretary John Setka, tweeting: “Malcolm Turnbull left something out of his dodgy ad, #RealTradies. Here is their response”.

I went to an AGM for all the major Unions in Australia the other day, and I can say the whole thing was fake. It was full of saboteurs and provocateurs paid by big corporations ( in my opinion ) to control and derail the meeting. I have never seen something so fake in my entire life. There was only a handful of genuine speakers and they knew what was happening. I often thought how they felt about the whole situation, but I couldn’t get near them. What the hell is happening to Australia? Has the CIA got their dirty paws on it again? Just like the pre Gough Whitlam days?
