Australia’s most militant union is running an anti-migrant campaign in a key Victorian marginal seat held by the Australian Labor Party.

Reported in today’s The Australian, the Construction Forestry Mining & Energy Union is running a campaign claiming an Abbott-led Coalition Government will see the labour market ‘flooded’ by foreign workers.

CFMEU leader, Mr Noonan, disingenuously stated: “ I believe the people of Corangamite, we hear, are very concern about the 457 issue.”

I have just read an article in the SMH about the tweeteraty at DIAC.

From what I can gather a DIAC employee using the twitter id @Lalegale had 700 followers and used that id to (apparently) make a commentary and disparaged DIAC. There was no id linking her personally to the twitter account and she was to all intents and purposes.

Migration Alliance members will be interested to see a picture of a billboard Dave Noonan and the CFMEU have released in Geelong. 

From my perspective this is misleading electoral material.  Migration Alliance condemns this advertisment.  In our opinion, Abbott has never said he supports temporary overseas workers over locals.  The suggestion that he has said that or indicated that is just ridiculous.

In my opinion this is just a beat up by the CFMEU to win votes for the Labor party.
