Sydney, Australia. 16 November 2017. Unions NSW and CFMEU Construction & General NSW organised a march from Belmore Park to Cook and Phillip Park to protest against the Turnbull Government’s changes to the law that will weaken the unions. Acting on the recommendations of the trade union royal commission, the Proper Use of Worker Benefits Bill seeks to deny unions access to millions of dollars the Coalition says flows from redundancy and income protection funds controlled by unions and employers. However, rally organisers say, “This is aimed at reducing your right to have your union represent you on the board of your super fund. Industry super funds have long out-performed the big banks, but Turnbull and his backers in the banks don’t care about that. Their proposed changed will open up industry funds to the big banks.” Credit: Richard Milnes/Alamy Live News
