There is naught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,
Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might.
Is there anything left to us to do but organize and fight?
For the union makes us strong.
- Solidarity Forever. Ralph Chaplin 1915.

Last year, after a media beat-up, the Australian Labor Party amputated the construction division of the #CFMEU and placed it in shackles.
The A.C.T. branch was largely left alone, and Michael Hiscox the head of the branch attempted to carry on representing his members, in spite of the extra boot on the neck.
