‘Let the public see who benefits’: Scepticism over Labor’s union procurement amendments
Sky News host Jaimee Rogers criticises Labor’s alleged plan to amend industrial relations laws to favour unions. “It creates an exemption under discrimination law, allowing the Commonwealth to give preference to businesses with union enterprise agreements when awarding government support,” Ms Rogers said. “Why should a company's relationship with a union have anything to do with whether it receives taxpayer-funded support? “Shouldn't the best project win? “If these decisions will genuinely deliver better value for taxpayers, then publish the criteria. “Let the public see who benefits and why. “Because if there is nothing to hide, there should be nothing to fear from transparency.”

No, Crypto Billionaires Buying Politicians Is Not the Same as Unions Representing Workers
How about this for false equivalence? Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh tried to compare trade unions that donate to the Labour party through the membership of its workers to cryptocurrency billionaires who donate enormous sums to politicians like Nigel Farage. But economist Faiza Shaheen pointed out that the two are not the same. She added that the Reform leader has “spent more time representing the interests of billionaires than he has for working class people”.
