Yesterday Australian politics reached a new low.
The Turnbull Government used the Federal Police to raid a union office over a donation to an NGO.
It is an outrageous abuse of power.
It’s an attack on democracy.
And it’s a waste of taxpayers money.
It is meant to intimidate us. But they have another thing coming. We will not be intimidated or stopped for standing up for what’s right and standing up to the powerful. We will continue to call them out and fight for a better deal – better and stronger rights for working people. Will you stand with us?
Big business and the Turnbull Government have too much power.
Yesterday they again showed they're prepared to misuse their power.
When the big banks were found to have allowed terrorists and drug dealers to launder money, they did nothing. This authoritarian behaviour is what you'd expect from a dictatorship.
This is exactly what they did at the end of the Howard government. And we stood up to them then. And we won.
And what worked then, is what will work now - people power.
And we’re going to stop them, but we need your help.
We won't be distracted, we are focused on building our movement to change the rules for working people.
We’re fighting for more secure jobs, pay rises and to make the big end of town pay their tax.
Yesterday showed how far the pendulum has swung in the wrong direction.
With your help we can swing it back.
We need you to chip in. To help get our message out on the airwaves, we’ve tested a few radio ads we know are effective, and we want to run them where it will hurt the Turnbull government the most.
Chip in to put them on the air.

That's how we fight back. We organise and we focus on what working people need, like penalty rates, and we win.
We’re working people. We don’t give up.
In unity,
