Wonder how many politicians have politely declined a Chairman's Club invitation..

Not many I'm guessing.

This rhetoric coming from a former ACTU President about unions from the political party formed by unions and historically, supposed to be the blue collar party.

Amazing

What an esteemed career this bloke has.
