Put 2+2 together and you can see why obvious @AustralianLabor staffer accounts like this one, and affiliates like Dee Madigan and Van Badham are laying siege on the AUWU, Labor wants to sail into government on another failure small target stretegy

They don't want to be beholden to activists at all, you can see that in @fitzhunter's rogue tweets, and other right wing fuck knuckles in the Otis Group. They literally just want to get in on Liberal incompetence and corruption, and what for? So they can hold their hands out.

Anyway, that's why it's no surprise to me that Shorten staffers were egging FriendlyStrikebreaker along and he'd be silly enough to admit it on his awful podcast.
