After serving eleven years as a Labor Senator, Doug Cameron is retiring. Before his time in the Senate, Doug spent 27 years as a union official, including 12 years as the AMWU’s national secretary. “Prior to that I’ve always been an activist,” he reflects. “I was a delegate when I was an apprentice fitter and so I’ve had a full lifetime of being a unionist.”

SHAUN REARDON ASSISTANT SECRETARY

As history has shown, whether it’s a Labor or Liberal government in the state of Victoria, the CFMEU have a proud record of fighting for construction workers and their families.

Anything from health and safety, wages and conditions or support off the job, we’ve always been front and centre in the struggle.

With the recent re-election of the Andrews Labor government, where CFMEU members played a significant role, our branch is in a strong position to push for further advancements and changes to protect and benefit the lives of construction workers.

SOME OF THESE IMPORTANT CHANGES INCLUDE A COMMITMENT TO LEGISLATE FOR INDUSTRIAL MANSLAUGHTER LAWS, (OF WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN APPOINTED TO ITS IMPLEMENTATION TASKFORCE.) THESE LAWS WILL SAVE LIVES AND INCLUDE IMPRISONMENT FOR ROGUE BOSSES WHO BLATANTLY DISREGARD SAFETY LAWS AND WHO VALUE THEIR HIP POCKET OVER THE LIFE OF A WORKER. SHAUN REARDON

Other significant advances include the passing of the licensing and registration of building trades bill which passed through the Victorian Parliament’s upper house prior to Christmas. These laws to be introduced will now be negotiated through industry consultation and are designed to protect CFMEU traditional trades.

They will better regulate quality and safety in our industry and once again make an apprenticeship in these fields something to bleed for. A career in a trade with respectful qualifications. Sham contracting and

worker visa exploitation rackets have to stop and these enforcements will help immensely in this area.

One area still of a major concern to our union is the awarding of state government contracts to shitty builders who don’t comply with health and safety standards or have a history of exploiting workers. Although the recent appointment of a Fair Jobs Commissioner and a Fair Jobs Code is encouraging, we still have a long way to go with respect to the award of lucrative government contracts. This union is committed to ensuring that the state government uses its purchasing power to lead industry standards on government jobs, by rewarding good behaviour and compliance with best practice policies for government contracts.

The fact that a CFMEU official can be banned from entering a state government building site to represent workers demanding proper amenities for women is a disgrace. At the same time builders like Grocon, who pleaded guilty to criminal charges relating to the deaths of three innocent people can still tender for major government contracts. Further, the fact that John Holland, Kane (and many others) who have been shown to sham contract and push an anti-union agenda are gifted so much government work is insane. This has to stop if the government wants to demonstrate that they are committed to supporting workers over the interests of multinational companies.

The struggle continues.

Let’s dare to win!

ELIAS SPERNOVASILAS ASSISTANT SECRETARY

Level crossing work deserves level playing fields on safety.

Stand up, Speak out, Come home. This has been an enduring campaign of our union, because we will always fight to be heard and listened to when it comes to safety in our high risk industry. OHS saves lives, and too many construction workers have seen someone get hurt, or even die because safety hasn’t been taken seriously.

McConnell Dowell it would seem, still hasn’t learnt this important lesson.

In recent years they have had two terrible workplace deaths due to safety. In Sydney at their Barangaroo Ferry Hub worksite a 32 year old worker was killed after a beam was dropped on him. Similar to a tragic accident near Mildura, where a 58-year-old man was killed at the Murray Basin Rail Project site after he was crushed between a bitumen roller and a trailer.

Despite several warnings from the CFMEU and RTBU in the months prior to the incident over a lack of safety and poor working conditions.

This union has always stood firm when it comes to OHS in our industry. Safety for our members will always be a non-negotiable.

So when 80 tonnes of precast were reported to be waving in the wind as they were lifted, directly over a busy passenger rail line at the McConnell Dowell Level Crossing Removal Project in Laverton, you can understand why the union became alarmed.

Beam placement is a significant stage of the job that presents substantial risks and danger due the nature of the occupation of the rail lines, size of the beams, and use of particular plant. Although McConnell

Dowell had originally agreed to address safety issues prior to the placement of the 80 tonne concrete beams they reneged and potentially put lives at risk.

Upon finding out that they had reneged and that these beams were being lifted over live passenger trains, CFMEU Officials Paul Tzimas, Gerry McCrudden and Marty Albert arrived onsite to make sure members weren’t being stood over on issues of safety. Victoria Police were on hand but denied CFMEU officials their “right of entry” after disclosing they were, “issued a directive from the ABCC”. While our officials were forced to stand at the gate and argue their right to represent member’s safety concerns under the OHS Act, McConnell Dowell continued to stand over members and rush more 80 ton beams onsite.

The police deployed up to 12 officers, for the best part of a day to bar entry to the level crossing, even when WorkSafe had approved our officials’ entry, and informed McConnell Dowell that they had a lawful right to be on the job. Despite this advice, the officers of Victoria Police threatened to arrest our officials for alleged trespass, and ‘disturbing the peace’.

Standing up for safety onsite is not a crime. And yet Victoria Police, under the direction of the anti-worker ABCC seem to treat it as such. Instead of enforcing the law under the OHS Act, they put workers lives at risk on the ‘directive’ of the ABCC. It is an utter disgrace that police resources were used to force members to work in unsafe conditions and to deny them of their legal rights.

The CFMEU are currently assessing our legal rights with respect to Victoria Police for hindering and obstructing a possible breach of Fair Work Act.

If you haven’t already please “like” and follow our page to automatically go in the draw to win a CFMEU clothing pack.

Winner to be announced at the end of May.

The Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) has been slammed by a Full Federal Court, dismissing the ABCC’s appeal regarding a costs judgment made against the ABCC over bringing a “trivial” case to court against the CFMEU. Not only did the court dismiss the appeal, but it also made an order that the ABCC pay the CFMEU’s costs.

The ABCC brought proceedings in 2015, seeking penalties over two CFMEU officials visiting a construction site and merely having a cup of tea and talking about four-wheel driving.

The court reiterated Justice North’s finding that “there was no indication at any stage that the Commissioner had developed any insight in respect of the triviality of the claim he was pursuing, nor the costs burden he was imposing on the respondents in the process.”

Justice North dismissed the ABCC’s application for penalty orders in March 2018, finding that the officials had “entered the site solely for the purpose of a social visit to a friend”, describing the case as a ‘storm in a teacup’.

The court went on to make an order that the ABCC pay the CFMEU’s further costs of the appeal, agreeing with Justice North that the “Commissioner had acted unreasonably in this proceeding” and found that, “this [appeal] reflected a continuation of that course of conduct” and that “it necessarily follows that this application is tainted by the same unreasonableness.”

Subsequently, in a judgment handed down in August 2018, Justice North ordered that ABCC pay the CFMEU’s costs, a highly unusual order in a Fair Work proceeding, generally a no costs jurisdiction.

In its written submissions in support of the appeal, the ABCC referred to the reputational damage it suffered, having been found to have done an unreasonable act that caused the CFMEU to incur costs.

The ABCC’s appeal against the costs judgment was unanimously dismissed. In its judgment, the court said: “none of the Commissioner’s three alleged errors in the costs judgment has any merit.”

CFMEU Victorian Assistant Secretary Shaun Reardon said:

In considering the ABCC’s arguments, the court noted that Justice North was concerned with the absence of any attempt on the part of the Commissioner to address the view previously expressed as to whether the case was anything other than one directed to a “minuscule incident” and one not “worthy of… attention”.

“THE ABCC CONTINUES TO WASTE TAXPAYER MONEY TO TRY TO REPAIR ITS TARNISHED REPUTATION INSTEAD OF INVESTIGATING ISSUES WHICH ARE RIFE IN THE INDUSTRY SUCH AS WAGE THEFT AND SHAM CONTRACTING”.

As the CFMEU flag gets proudly hoisted above the Carlton and United Brewery in Abbotsford for the first time, one proud member declares: “It’s the first time in 140 years a union flag has flown up there.

I have been here for 43 years, and it’s the best day ever.”

“Workers at the brewery feel secure, which is so much better for their mental health and wellbeing than being told you’re facing a pay freeze that would have seen them, like many working people out there these days, struggle just to keep up with the cost of living,” adds CFMEU organiser Joe Myles.

CFMEU members at CUB have recently signed a new EBA that three years ago they never would have imagined.

Management, through negotiations with nearly 200 members at the brewery, came to an agreement that all parties are unanimously happy with.

A happy workforce locked in for the next three years ensures a smooth flow of Aussie made union beer on tap at every CUB pub and proudly stocked CUB bottle shop.

The deal includes a 4% pay rise each year for the next three years, a union can to celebrate the union movement (that had Woolworth’s ringing CUB for stock after a Facebook post of the can went viral) and the CFMEU flag that proudly flies above the brewery.

“IF I CAN IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS INSPIRE MORE YOUNG SOUTH SUDANESE AND MAYBE EVEN OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM TO GET INTO THIS INDUSTRY SO THEY CAN MAKE AN HONEST LIVING I WILL BE A VERY HAPPY MAN.” JERRY ANYUON

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

We’ve all experienced it, you walk into a pub, or you’re on your way home from work, and you stop by a shop to pick up some milk or bread. You get a look from someone - a disapproving glance, they look you up and down and then another. All of a sudden you remember you’re wearing your CFMEU colours and you’re in one of the more stuck-up suburbs around town. You have just been a victim of discrimination.

You could always just take your shirt off - but if you’re from South Sudan like CFMEU member Jerkuei (Jerry) Anyuon you can’t.

Media use terms like ‘the militant union’, ‘outlaw motorcycle gangs’ and ‘African gangs’ quite irresponsibly and unethically to create drama, colour and life for an otherwise dreary story. They are driven by ratings and hunt for advertising bucks that literally contradict their whole reason for being or raison d’être.

BUT we can’t all be militant or outlaws or gang members.

Jerry has a degree in economics and another in political science. His insight into not only union and political issues but those of business is vast and well informed.

So be you a boss or a fellow worker Jerry is motivated to share his message of positivity with you because he seeks to be a role model not only for his community but to all those who care to hear him out, and it’s not by chance.

Jerry migrated to Australia because his wife had moved out here with their two boys now five and seven after an amicable devorce: “I wanted to be with my children and set a good example for them. I want them to know as they get older I am a good man and that maybe one day I may even be a great man. They inspire me to continually better myself.

“But first I just want to take a second here to thank Tony Ciccone from Cycon Civil because he gave me a start and I am most grateful. I took [getting this job] back to my community and said to them,

‘Don’t look at how the media portray the South Sudanese. Don’t let that prevent you from going out there and interacting with people most of whom are good. I have been here only three years - I started as a security guard, and I am now working in one of the most respected industries in the whole country. It wasn’t because I was selected to be there, it was because despite the difficulties I decided to go out and get the training and believe that there are decent people out there.’

And I found them in Tony and all the blokes I work with at Cycon Civil.

“I like to say, ‘If you don’t fill your day with a lot of important issues it will be filled with a lot of unimportant matters.’ The reason I say this is because I am afraid some in my community are going in the wrong direction. Not because they are very much focusing on the unimportant but they’re focusing on the people that are telling them you are this or that. To use an example, the CFMEU is an excellent one: they have been called “militant thugs” and “criminals”, but they are not concentrating on that. The CFMEU just brush it off and focus on working to protect the rights of workers and their conditions at work.

“Finally, to my community I want to say let the media continue to say whatever racist comments they want to say, but let us continue to do what is right because in this country you can do whatever you want. If the media want to keep vilifying us and we react they make money from us and we get nowhere. So I am here to tell young people in my community that in this country you can do whatever you want and if the media don’t want you that’s okay.”

Never has a government of this country shown such utter contempt for working class people as the current Liberal government does today.

12

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

This Liberal Government has shown its true colours as nothing more than a kakistocracy or as they say in Greek a ‘kakistokratia’ or κακιστοκρατία. A word that comes from two Greek words, ‘kakistos’ meaning worst and ‘kratos’ meaning rule.

A kakistocracy is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.

Scott ‘If you have a go, you get a go’ Morrison is our prime minister simply because Australia couldn’t palate Peter Dutton and the Liberal government knew.

We still don’t know why Malcolm Turnbull got shafted.

He say’s, “it’s because he could have won this coming election”.

workers; then our tax dollars get wasted attacking the working-class while allowing big companies like Qantas to pay no tax at all.

Qantas continues to claim record-breaking profits while crying poor at the same time, even asking staff to volunteer over the busy Christmas break when ticket prices are at peak rates.

Malcolm Turnbull gave almost half a billion taxpayer dollars to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation on his way out the door. We later found out his wife was a former board member of this organisation and that its board is made up of those associated with some of the worst corporate polluters in the world. This well-funded ‘lobby group’ hardly engenders confidence in its socalled concerns about climate change on the Great Barrier Reef.

As outgoing Liberal frontbencher Kelly O’Dwyer recently admitted, her party was seen as one of, “…homophobic, anti-women, climate-change deniers.”

It also rules openly for the one per cent, the plutocrats.

Finance Minister Mathias Cormann ‘overlooked’ a $2800 ‘obligation’ for private travel to Singapore for himself and his family provided by a company owned by the Liberal Party Federal Treasurer.

Cartoon reproduced with the permission of Mark David.

Is this just more cryptic dribbling and do we really care to work it out?

Morrison voted 26 times against the Royal Commission into the misconduct of the banking sector but many in the know see his behaviour as some kind of protection racket for his dodgy banker mates.

Michaelia Cash has spent what will probably surpass one hundred million taxpayer dollars on a trade union witch hunt that exposed nothing more than a deeply engrained disregard for the rule of law in the Liberal government. Cash has squandered your money to avoid going to court while hiding behind her whiteboard and then bewilderingly denying any knowledge of her staff tipping the media off over the AWU raids.

This kakistocracy created the ABCC with the sole intention of union-busting. It immediately went about picking off union officials (too many to mention) with outrageous allegations that mostly get thrown out by judges tired of witnessing the waste of not only the court’s time but the millions of our tax dollars.

As unionists, we pay twice. Firstly, our dues go towards defending unionists standing up for the safety of

This is the same company that has benefited significantly from fat government contracts. You can’t make this stuff up!

In one of the most Un-Australian acts of a government in our history, this kakistocracy under the direction of the big Un-Australian BHP began the massacre of the Australian shipping industry for absolutely no good reason except to line the pockets of the wealthy.

The car industry - wiped out. Figures from the ACTU suggest that if this government had only purchased Australian made government vehicles for its own fleet, this industry would still be around today.

Government debt is another thing that gets ignored, even as the Coalition continues to spruik itself as second to none when it comes to Australia’s economic management, yet in the six years of a Coalition government debt has doubled to $540 billion.

If you work for a living, it’s essential you help us spread the word, talk to your mates and family about these issues and help give this oppressive kakistocracy the flick.

It’s an important election, not only for us as unionists but it is what we will be leaving our kids.

Investments

Smart strategy: super is for the long term

Share markets don’t just go in one direction. They move in cycles with times of good and not-so-good returns.

In the last few months of 2018 we’ve had some big daily falls in share markets in Australia and overseas, with some of our investment options having negative returns over the shorter term.

Expert investors know the value of long-term strategies compared to the dangers of trying to predict short-term movements.

It’s about time frame, not timing The more years you have to invest, the less it matters whether the market or investment returns are up or down on any particular day. Because super is a longterm investment, it’s important to focus on your own long-term goals and resist the urge to react to shortterm highs and lows in market movements.

When investing for the long term, you can afford to ride out the lows.

Investors can lose money when they view long-term investments with a short-term focus. Changing longterm investments because of a sudden shift in the market may mean missing out on the increase markets often have after they’ve fallen.

Super provides special opportunities Super is an enormous amount of money that members pool together ($46 billion for Cbus) to invest for a very long time. We can hold onto assets through the ups and downs and take advantage of events like share market falls to invest when prices have fallen.

Not only that, but Cbus’ diversified investment strategy aims to reduce the impact that one asset class, such as shares, can have on your super. The Growth (Cbus MySuper) option’s performance will not see the same level of impact from day-to-day share market movements because other asset classes such as property or infrastructure can still contribute positively to overall returns.

Even with major falls, markets have bounced back and may move higher over a longer period.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and the value of your investments can rise or fall.

What’s right for you?

When investing for the future, consider the time frame you have to meet your investment goals, which could be retirement or the decades past retiring. The number of years you have helps determine the amount of investment risk you can take. Changing to lower-risk investment options or making frequent switches could, over the long term, leave you with a lower retirement benefit. Your super is your money, so make sure it has the best chance to grow and finish on a “high” for your retirement.

Nearly thirty years later through research and development the performance based design standard today claims to create buildings that use 90 per cent less energy than regular building models. Regardless of this claim, the result is a building with a shallow ecological footprint that requires minimal energy for heating and cooling.

There are five basic principles to the Passive House:

Thermal Insulation Sufficient insulation is what’s needed within the building’s envelope, providing enough thermal separation between the heated or cooled conditioned inside environment and the outdoors. This improves thermal comfort and reduces the risk of condensation (no more cold internal surfaces in winter!).

18

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

Passive House (High Performance) Windows

Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery

It’s not just the solid areas of your building envelope that need to have good levels of insulation but your windows too. No more single glazing, but instead low-emissivity double or triple glazing with thermally broken or non-metal frames. The size of the windows should be appropriate to each orientation, to allow solar radiation to penetrate during the winter months (free heating!) but not result in too much solar radiation during the summer. Watch out for how well they’re sealed too, as leaky windows just won’t do.

Now this doesn’t mean that you can’t open your windows! The incorporation of a mechanical ventilation unit means that you simply don’t need to rely on opening them to achieve good indoor air quality. The unit effectively recovers heat and coolth that would otherwise be wasted whilst also filtering the air that’s coming into the building. This leads to fewer pollutants in the air and a lower risk of condensation meaning a healthier indoors.

Airtightness An essential part of every Passive House is an air tight building envelope (see the requirement in the certification criteria).

This ensures that there are only a very limited amount of gaps and cracks within your envelope, giving you full control over your internal environment and significantly improving thermal comfort – no more draughts!

Thermal Bridge Free Construction The insulation not only needs to be sufficient in thickness but also needs to be continuous. This means keeping penetrations through the insulation to an absolute minimum, and if not avoidable then using materials that are less conductive to heat (i.e. timber in place of metal) and/or incorporating thermal breaks (whereby a material that doesn’t conduct heat well separates the two conductive elements). Otherwise your wonderfully insulated building will have a number of thermal highways that will cause increased energy consumption and increased condensation risk whilst impacting thermal comfort.

Just completed in Frankston, by Multiplex, lies the largest Passive House build in Australia — A 150 bed student accommodation hall at the Monash University Peninsula Campus.

Kevin Pattinson was the shop steward on this site, a unionist for nearly 50 years. He, as did most, really enjoyed working on this job as it was something new and a glimpse into the future: “All the windows came from Germany, they are computer controlled so when it gets a bit warm inside some of the windows will open up and let the cold air in and vice versa. There is no air conditioner or heating system.

“The main panels used were cross laminated timber (CLT), which is spruce grown in Austria and transported over to Italy for fabrication. From Italy, the prefabricated panels were transported out to Australia in big open roof containers with a tarp over the top because they wouldn’t fit into a standard shipping container as some of the panels were just way too high.

“They are starting to start making CLT panels in Australia, but at the moment we haven’t got the facilities to do it at a large scale. I believe it works out to be much cheaper than precast concrete, take less manpower and is much quicker to manufacture and

assemble than precast concrete. “Also the lifespan of CLT panels is supposed to be about 50 years which is the same as concrete.”

Site works commenced in March 2018, with the concrete podium being completed by early June. The CLT install commenced in late June, with top out of the structure in the first week of September. The building was completed before Australia Day weekend 2019 with students already occupying the building.

Project Manager, Danielle Savio said:

“BUILDING IN CLT HAS BEEN A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR THE MAJORITY OF SITE. IT HAS BOUGHT A WHOLE NEW WAY OF THINKING ABOUT SAFETY AND BUILDING METHODOLOGIES. THE PASSIVE HOUSE HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE! UNDERSTANDING HOW TO DELIVER THE BUILDING TO A GERMAN STANDARD HAS REQUIRED A REALLY COLLABORATIVE APPROACH BETWEEN ALL THE CONSULTANTS AND SUB-CONTRACTORS.” DANIELLE SAVIO

IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE GOVERMENT TO...

The ABCC and the building code to be abolished These laws which target one group of workers are extremely harsh and unfair and apply to over one million workers. They make it harder for them to protect their safety in the very dangerous building industry and outlaw such things as negotiating guaranteed apprentice ratios. They include an industrial police force that can demand individual workers attend interrogations and fine workers up to $42 000 for attending a political protest. Labor will abolish these unfair laws.

Abolish the Registered Organisations Commission This was set up by the Turnbull/Morrison Government to harass unions for political purposes. Its first act was a televised police raid on union offices looking for minutes from a meeting held over ten years ago.

This Commission causes union members’ money to be diverted to complying with excessive and pointless red tape, just to make our jobs harder. The union movement supports the highest level of governance and honesty and has no tolerance for any misuse of members’ money, but this Commission is political and is wasting members’ money – it needs to go.

Guiseppe (Joe) Perri 18.7.47 - 19.12.18

It’s a bit of a cliché to say he died doing what he loved but for Guiseppe (Joe) Perri he did just that.

At 71-years of age Joe refused to retire, had a heart attack on the job and passed away just before Christmas last year. A proud unionist for almost 50 years Joe will be missed by not only his family but by the many construction workers who had the privilege of working with him over the decades.

SS Guglielmo Marconi in search of a better life and although concreting was his profession, like many ItalianAustralians, horticulture was a big part of his life.

Joe’s son Max said his father used to say:

In his later years as a member of the Calabria Club at Bulla, Joe would make traditional pizzas and in his later years this community service was a commitment he took on with a level of dedication second to none.

“AS LONG AS I CAN WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND FEEL STRONG, I CAN WORK, AND WHEN I DIE, YOU’LL FIND ME ON THE JOB SITE.” JOE PERRI

“ Those were his words to live by, and that’s how he left this world - on his terms.’ adds Max. In 1967 at 20-years of age, Joe a potato farmer from Calabria in Italy arrived at Port Melbourne aboard the SS GUGLIELMO MARCONI

From the annual tomato harvest and saucing session to making wine and salami Joe would say, “It had to be done.”

Migrant ships of the ’60s not only brought to Australia a rare breed of hard-working Europeans like Joe, they brought with them food and culture that has played an integral part in creating our multicultural Australia.

Shop steward Nathan Skudutis reflects that Joe was, “old school, and would have no problem sticking up for himself or reminding whoever needed reminding of his entitlements and where they came from.”

You see, Joe was from that generation of unionist that fought for and won many of the conditions we all take for granted today - from the deregistration of the BLF to the fight for compulsory superannuation, Joe was there.

Thank you Joe, RIP. CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

888 LAST YEAR WE ANNOUNCED THE TRADES HALL ‘RAISE THE ROOF’ CAMPAIGN AFTER ASBESTOS AND LEAD DUST FOUND IN THE OLD BUILDING BUMPED UP THE COST OF THE REFURB BY AS MUCH AS THREE MILLION DOLLARS. Living Heritage Project Officer, Liz Beattie explains: “As we talked about last time we found a significant amount of hazardous materials which were not expected because of the age of the building. But then there was lead dust asbestos from the ’60s.

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

“We would like the various stakeholders in Trades Hall and the CFMEU to step forward and when the time comes to help out.

It’s urgent because we’ve almost exhausted the funds that have been granted to us by the state government.

“What we’ve seen recently with Joe Myles proves how generous trade union members are. They’ve got compassion for people, and they’ve got the passion for this building and generosity of heart.

“Generosity of heart is what built this building, and it will build this building again. I am confident in union members.”

Trades Hall is now trying to reach not just union secretaries but also union members and possibly any philanthropists that care about trade union history in Melbourne as this the oldest working trade union building in the world.

“So in the early days of the project when the architects came down, they wanted to know the guts of the 888 and what it meant. I took them for a walk around the block from here up to Queensbury down to Victoria Street and showed them the monument, and that’s where they got some of their architectural ideas from because they had no idea about the symbolism of the 888.” Liz adds.

CFMEU shop steward on the project Steven Black says, “Everybody should know about it — that’s the importance of this restoration because these things get lost in time. I saw a tour operator come and drop off a bus full of Chinese tourists to look at the 888 monument. But they weren’t looking at the monument because of the 8 hour day; they were looking at it for the 8 because in China 8 is a lucky number, so they were looking at it or maybe even praying to it before they went down to the casino for a punt.”

Silica dust is 20 times more toxic than coal dust.

It’s been touted as the ‘new asbestos’.

Respirable crystalline silica dust or RCS is the leading cause of silicosis, the most common occupational lung disease in the world today. Silica dust can also cause lung cancer even where silicosis has not occurred.

Remarkably it is one of the world’s oldest occupational diseases yet we haven’t heard much about it.

You may have seen the ABC’s 7:30 Report program ‘Deadly Dust’. If you haven’t, check it out online because if you work in construction it’s a must see.

Dr. Ryan Hoy a Respiratory and Sleep disorders physician at Cabrini Medical Centre explains: “What we are most concerned about at the moment is the dry cutting of artificial stone or engineered stone most commonly known as Caesarstone.”

“It has been available in Australia since 2001 so it’s a relatively new building material, but since that time it’s become very popular. The major problem with this product is that it contains extremely high levels of silica.”

Workers exposed to silica dust for even relatively short periods of time and some even in their 20s have been diagnosed with silicosis in Australia.

26

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

“On average once a patient is diagnosed they have a rapid decline of lung function, as much as 30 times greater than expected in comparison to a healthy adult and the only cure for silicosis is a lung transplant.”

Cancer Council Australia states that there is currently no conclusive evidence to support a safe level of exposure to silica dust. The Association Advancing Occupational and Environmental Health (ACGIH) has recommended that the silica dust exposure limit be 0.025mg/m3 as an 8-hour TimeWeighted Average (TWA).

CFMEU OHS manager Dr. Gerry Ayers says, “We recommend anyone cutting artificial stone should not only wet cut but also use exhaust extraction systems on their tools as well as using approved respiratory equipment. Dry cutting is not an option that should ever be considered.”

“IN THIS DAY AND AGE IT’S A DISGRACE WE’RE GETTING PEOPLE THAT ARE NOW BEING DIAGNOSED WITH SILICOSIS WITH ALL THE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE - IT’S ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL THAT THESE POOR WORKERS ARE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH THIS INSIDIOUS DISEASE.” DR. GERRY AYERS For more information on how to control the risk of exposure to respirable crystalline silica, visit the website ohsrep.org.au/hazards/chemicals/silica

DOUG CAMERON:

”I’ve always been an activist”

BY DR JOHN FALZON

After serving eleven years as a Labor Senator, Doug Cameron is retiring. Before his time in the Senate, Doug spent 27 years as a union official, including 12 years as the AMWU’s national secretary. “Prior to that I’ve always been an activist,” he reflects. “I was a delegate when I was an apprentice fitter and so I’ve had a full lifetime of being a unionist.”

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

27

“My advice to the young is: you should join your union!”

Doug might be retiring from the Senate but he will never retire from the fight for a better society. If you’ve seen him in action, whether giving a toolbox speech at a worksite or giving the conservatives a serve in the Senate, it’s plain that he speaks with the simple authority that comes from sticking to what you know.

For there is nothing more powerful than the truth.

And Doug knows the truth of the working class he has come from, represents, and fights for. When asked what he is proud of, he doesn’t think twice:

“LOOKING AFTER THE WORKING CLASS. LOOKING AFTER WORKING PEOPLE. MAKING SURE THAT THEY CAN COME TO WORK, GET A DECENT WAGE, GO HOME AT NIGHT SAFE TO THEIR FAMILIES. THAT’S WHAT’S FUNDAMENTAL: DECENT WAGES, DECENT CONDITIONS, DECENT RIGHTS ON THE JOB. WHEN YOU CLOCK ON THE JOB YOU DON’T CLOCK OFF YOUR RIGHTS. THAT’S WHAT UNIONS FIGHT FOR!” DOUG CAMERON

Doug’s life as a union activist is a powerful example of what ACTU Secretary Sally McManus is talking about in her book, On Fairness, when she says: “Union power is this simple act of solidarity - of people realising what we have in common.” Doug is blunt in his advice to workers when it comes to the racism and divisiveness trotted out by some politicians: “Don’t get sidetracked by any of the nonsense that’s going on from some of the smaller parties such as One Nation. One Nation is probably the most anti-union group in parliament, next to the Coalition.”

28

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

Doug has spent his time in the union movement, and in the Labor Party, trying to bring working people together to stand up against injustice and to stand up for fairness. The Labor Party is at its strongest when it listens to the union movement and when it remembers that it was created by the union movement. Doug is clear on what this means for the working class: “The biggest challenge is to get rid of this divided, disjointed rabble of a government and get a government that understands the needs of the working class, understands the needs of working people and their families and that’s the Labor Party.”

He sees his role, and the role of all of us in the union movement as simply: “trying to build a decent society.”

And the fact that he has always waged this battle through the union movement is testament to his belief that we can only change the rules by acting collectively: “My advice to the young is: you should join your union!

Anyone working in the building and construction industry, join your union! If I was working in the building and construction industry and I was eligible to join the CFMEU I’d be a proud member of the CFMEU. It is a union that’s fearless. It’s a union that gets out and fights for its members. It’s a union that understands that workers need that collective support.”

When asked who the greatest influence was on his passion for social justice Doug names an Irish boilermaker, Bob Adamson, his mentor in the Metal Workers Union. Doug remembers Bob as a deeply progressive person, a hard worker and a powerful intellect. It is precisely in the union movement that

intellect. It is precisely in the union movement that we find people like this who teach us how to fight for fairness by the example they set of never stepping back from the struggle. Doug has never stepped back from the struggle. Just as Bob was a mentor to him, he has been, and continues to be, a mentor and inspiration for many in the movement.

As the struggle continues, Doug is looking ahead at the next challenge that faces our movement:

“ONE OF THE ISSUES FACING THE UNION MOVEMENT IS THAT WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE INFILTRATION OF COALITION APPARATCHIKS IN THE FAIR WORK COMMISSION, THE FAIR WORK OMBUDSMAN AND THE ROC, ARE DEALT WITH. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET RID OF THE ABCC AND THE ROC. THEY HAVE BEEN BIASED ORGANISATIONS. THEY ARE TOOLS OF THE COALITION. A LABOR GOVERNMENT WILL GET RID OF THEM!”

There are some who see parliament as the pinnacle of their lives and their careers. Doug Cameron is not in that category. While he has always used his time as a Senator to faithfully and forcefully advance the cause of the working class, he sees himself first and foremost as a unionist: “The union supported my family when I was a rank and file worker, supporting my family to get decent rights, decent pay, decent conditions. If anyone says to me how would you want to be remembered I’d say: well, as a union man. That’s been the highlight of my life!”

IMAGINE A SCHOOLYARD WHERE A HANDFUL OF BULLIES RULE THE ROOST. They tell everyone else what to do and they belt the shit out of you if you cross their path.

They reserve the right to steal your lunch and they love displaying their power by shoving smaller kids’ heads down the toilet.

Now imagine that the principal refuses to intervene, even when the victims or their parents complain.

Imagine the principal saying something along the lines of: “All of our students have the same opportunities.

They are all treated equally. Our job is to let their natural talents flourish, not to stifle them.”

Under neoliberal governments that schoolyard is our industrial relations system, our economic system, our society. The handful of bullies are the ones who control most of the wealth and most of the power. When the bullies in our society try to to crush working people by attacking unions, when they steal people’s wages or their superannuation, when they prevent workers from organising, from bargaining, from striking, this is what neoliberalism looks like. When they get away with endangering the lives of workers, when they refuse paid domestic violence leave, when they cut payments to people who are unemployed or living with a disability or sole parents or students, this is what neoliberalism looks like. When they cut spending on education and health but cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy, when they transfer public assets and social services into private hands for private profit instead of public good, this is what neoliberalism looks like. This is the way they run the schoolyard.

They say that they are merely encouraging the enterprising to exercise their talents for the benefit of us all. But everyone knows that wealth never trickles down. I’ve listened hard for the sound of the wealth trickling down but all I hear is the sound of the bullied and excluded still waiting. They say that inequality is the measure of our nation’s freedom. But we know that inequality is the measure of our nation’s shame.

They’d love us to think there is no such thing as neoliberalism, that inequality is natural and that everyone has the same opportunities to succeed if they really want to. Neoliberalism is real though. And it is not just an idea. It is a destroyer of lives, a crusher of souls.

And it is built on lies. You don’t build a strong economy or a fair society by boosting inequality.

Neoliberal governments don’t just get out of the way, leaving the bullies to rule the yard. They arm the bullies with sticks and tell their victims to stand still. Which is why neoliberal governments hate unions. Because instead of standing still for those who wield the sticks, unions stand up to them. Instead of leaving individuals to fend for themselves, unions bring working people together to organise collectively and to build a fairer society collectively.

We need to understand that neoliberalism is not just a collection of isolated incidents affecting the lives of working people, including the people who are not in paid work. There is nothing isolated about these attacks. They are part of a systematic effort to use the power of government to discipline and control workers.

They are a means of cutting what they call the cost of labour but what we look upon as our livelihood.

Our task is not just to understand neoliberalism. Our task is to say goodbye to it, to change its rotten rules.

We don’t just want to defend the bullied; we want to make society a fairer and safer place for everyone. We want the bullying to end.

OUR TASK IS NOT JUST TO UNDERSTAND NEOLIBERALISM. OUR TASK IS TO SAY GOODBYE TO IT CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

Shockingly and tragically, up to 30 workers are killed on the job in Victoria each year. Already this year, we’ve had eight workers tragically killed at work, and that means eight families mourning their loved ones and eight families who will never be the same again. It is said that:

“THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF OHS PROSECUTION IS DETERRENCE, WHICH IS PREMISED ON THE NOTION THAT PUNISHMENT WILL DISCOURAGE THE INDIVIDUAL OR CORPORATE WRONGDOER. DETERRENCE IS BASED ON THE IDEA THAT CRIMINAL PUNISHMENTS CAN BE USED TO OUTWEIGH THE CALCULATED BENEFITS ACCRUING TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS OR BUSINESS ORGANISATIONS WHO CONSIDER COMMITTING A CRIME.” GUNNINGHAM AND JOHNSTONE 1999

But our current “financial only” penalty punishment regime under our OHS legislative framework miserably fails this notion, and why?

Because • Fines do not ensure that the offenders restructure their workplace to comply with OHS standards; • Fines only have an impact upon the financial returns of the corporation, and not on the motivation and/or behaviour of the responsible managers; • Fines do not ensure any disciplinary action is ever taken against those who should be held responsible and accountable (especially if the hazards and risks were previously known); • Fines do not require management to review their systems of operation so that the offence will not reoccur; and • Fines are easily avoided by restructuring the corporate structure or identities or by moving the organisation’s assets to other corporate entities (Gunningham & Johnstone 1999).

And, somewhat insidiously, some companies even insure against such fines!

If the law is a reflection of society’s values, then criminal sanctions have both a moral and a symbolic role to play.

And symbolism is important because “…symbolic or moral aims of criminal sanctions seek to apportion moral blame for criminal acts, and officially demonstrate society’s intolerance of harmful behaviour… we use the criminal law when our sensibilities are assaulted – when, in addition to redressing the

particular problem, we want both to condemn the wrongdoers’ conduct and to stigmatise them. The criminal law both reflects existing public sentiments about the heinousness of certain activities, but can also be used to shape such perceptions, particularly if used in conjunction with media campaigns showing the reprehensible aspects of the behaviour, while simultaneously emphasising society’s condemnation of that behaviour…”

(Gunningham, & Johnstone 1999, pp.193-194).

And that is why Industrial Manslaughter Legislation is so important. Corporations and employers must not be allowed to continue the game of probability with workers’ lives – with only a monetary sanction as their penalty.

Premier Daniel Andrews made it one of his core commitments, before his re-election, to introduce, under the Victorian OHS Act, the crime of Industrial/Corporate manslaughter. To his credit, he has just announced an Implementation Taskforce, led by former Industrial Relations minister Natalie Hutchins, and comprising some family members of those workers who have recently and tragically died at work, members of Trade Unions (including CFMEU Assistant Secretary Shaun Reardon,) and members of the business community, to work together towards this important new piece of OHS legislation.

The Implementation Taskforce will also be supported by a WorkPlace Fatalities and Serious Incidents Reference Group – representing victims’ families so they too may have input into and contribute to these important OHS reforms.

The new offence will also apply when an employer’s negligent conduct causes the death of an innocent member of the public.

The Andrews government has committed to giving WorkSafe Victoria the powers and resources required to ensure employers who do the wrong thing will be prosecuted and if found guilty of negligently causing the death of a worker or members of the public, they will face up to 20 years in jail, as well as an increase in fines of almost $16 million.

We’ll keep you informed of the progress of this most important piece of OHS legislation.

Queenslander Keith Stoddart can barely lift a bucket of water after spending three decades working underground as a coal miner.

The 69-year-old was diagnosed with black lung three years ago and recently travelled to Melbourne to demand more assistance for sufferers from BHP and other mining companies.

CFMEU members and victims were among a group that rallied outside the company’s Collins Street head office calling for change early in March.

“I can hardly carry a bucket of water,” Keith said.

The union merely want a funding program for victims and their families once workers compensation payments finish.

“My future is not looking real bright. As soon as I was diagnosed, I was living in a mine house and thrown straight out … It’s cost me thousands.”

Arch Tudehope from the Mine Dust Victims Group said,

The former miner said a few years ago he was still working underground like a 30-year-old, but now feels closer to 90.

“WE ARE MERELY ASKING BHP FOR A LEVY OF 1 CENT PER TONNE PER WEEK TO GO INTO THE FUND TO SUPPORT VICTIM BUT BHP REFUSE TO EVEN SPEAK TO US ABOUT IT.”

The disease, called pneumoconiosis, is a potentially fatal disease caused by prolonged exposure to coal dust and there is no known cure.

Another black lung sufferer Steve Mellor said he’s received no help from his former employer and was forced to stop working once he was diagnosed.

“They tell you to go away and die, basically,” he said.

“I WAS IMMEDIATELY SHUNTED FROM THE INDUSTRY AND I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FIND WORK SINCE, THEY DON’T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH KEITH OR, I THEY JUST WANT US TO SHUT UP AND GO AWAY WHILE THEY BRING IN NEW LABOUR.” STEVE MELLOR

They are both part of the Mine Dust Diseases Victims Group, which recently rallied in Queensland and tried to meet with BHP executive Andrew Mackenzie in Melbourne.

ARCH TUDEHOPE

Former coal miner and Queensland state MP Jim Pearce said more than 100 Queensland mine workers have been diagnosed with dust diseases and the number grows each month.

In a statement, BHP said the incidence of mine dust diseases amongst its workers “has been deeply disturbing” for the mining giant but it certainly doesn’t sound like it if you talk to any of the unemployed dying victims.

BHP say it “has been actively monitoring and managing Coal Mine Dust Lung Diseases exposure at our sites for many years to prevent people from contracting these diseases, and our internal dust exposure limits are more stringent than regulatory limits anywhere in the country.” A spokesman said to this point they continue to avoid the union’s request for dialogue over the fund that pales in comparison to the fund that has been set up in the USA.

The Andrews government’s local product policies have been a win for Australian manufacturers despite the recent Singaporean lead primed steel fiasco at the John Holland - CPB joint venture The West Gate Tunnel Project exposed by the CFMEU.

CFMEU refractory bricklayers at OneSteel/Liberty Steel in Laverton have been putting a bit of overtime in to crank up their steel production as Victoria’s infrastructure boom continues to chase Melbourne’s rapid population growth.

Fifteen thousand tonnes of scrap steel lie in the yard ready to be recycled into rebar and other steel products.

It’s hard, hot, ‘as a matter of fact I got it now’ kind of work and Jason Cox and his twin brother Paul have been doing it for 21 years: “It’s a rare gig this one,” says Jason. “You know where you’re going every day. You don’t have to pack a suitcase and you’re not waiting around for the next job.”

Refractory workers could be working anywhere from an aluminium smelter in Portland one month to a glass factory in Western Australia the next and way too many of late have fallen victim to casualisation.

Clint Barker has enjoyed full-time work for more than 23 years, 6am-2pm Monday to Friday:

“IT PAYS THE BILLS, IT’S CONVENIENT, WORKS IN WITH FAMILY,” SAYS CLINT. “WE GET TO GO HOME EVERY NIGHT …

WE MIGHT BE THE ONLY FULL-TIME REFRACTORY WORKERS AROUND, EVERYONE ELSE IS CASUAL.” CLINT BARKER

Something he and this unique bunch of characters are grateful for as they go about doing their bit to build our city into the future.

Brickies at OneSteel/Liberty are on their second year of a three-year EBA, and they’ve just enjoyed a pay rise in January.

Working in the bottom of a bowl with a ladder for access in and out, furnaces and molten steel just metres away, is not only a hot, dirty environment, it’s dangerous, but it’s just another day for CFMEU refractory workers.

LICENSING OF THE TRADES –

UPDATE – 40

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

In 2018 legislation was passed giving in-principle support to the licensing of workers in building trades and the registration of subcontractors. At the moment we don’t know the details of what trades will be covered or exactly how the system will work.

This detail will be in the Regulation to be developed in 2019. We know that there will be a transition stage commencing in 2020 and that workers will be able to apply for provisional licenses for five years. The system is expected to be fully operational by 2025.

The CFMEU will be pushing for our traditional trades to be licensed and for a properly structured and resourced transition stage to be built into the regulations. Lots of our members are working in trades but do not have qualifications and have not had their skills recognised. We will be fighting to make sure that the skills and knowledge of existing workers are recognised and those new entrants to the industry are given structured training from day one.

Employer associations such as the HIA and MBAV are likely to resist the licensing of trades workers.

Without licensing laws, MBAV and HIA employers have been able to employ unskilled and unqualified workers.

These are the workers who are most often ripped off and who have very little bargaining power.

Sites that use skilled workers at industry rates of pay and with good conditions are safer, more productive and have a better quality finish, but many employers put short term profits ahead of the interests of workers

and consumers. Workers deserve a properly regulated system where their skills are recognised, and their future work assured. A sensible and robust method of licensing will deliver that.

The CFMEU will be working hard in the next 12 months to get the regulation that workers need for the future.

One of our first steps will be to make sure that the people who write the rules have some understanding of how commercial construction works and the skills and knowledge that build the state’s housing, offices, amenities and infrastructure.

If you work in the trades and do not have formal qualifications now is the time to start thinking about what tickets you do have and what you might need in the future. Don’t be fooled by the shonks who want to sign you up to all sorts of schemes. If you are really concerned or want to get some skills upgraded give the CFMEU Education and Training Unit a call to see what courses might be useful.

We will keep you posted as the regulations take shape and will let you know when you need to act.

2019 has kicked off with a rush on courses for High-Risk Work licenses, another intake of carpentry pre-apprentices, a new intake in the Diploma of Work Health and Safety and a new program that we hope will establish a model of future training for mobile crane operators.

Courses for High-Risk Work Licenses

Mobile crane training program

The Education and Training Unit offers a full range of courses in High-Risk Work licensing at the Wharf Rd facility in Port Melbourne. High Risk Work license classes include: Forklift (LF), Hoist (HM, HP) Elevated Work Platform (WP), Scaffold basic, intermediate and advanced (SB, SI, SA), Dogging (DG), Rigging basic, intermediate and advanced (SB, SI, SA), Non-Slewing mobile crane (CN), Slewing mobile crane 20t and 60t (C2, C6) and Tower crane (CT).

After many years and many attempts to get a training agreement up for new entrants to the mobile crane sector, last year saw the successful negotiation of training arrangements between the CFMEU, eight key mobile crane companies and the Crane Industry Council Australia (CICA). In February this year, eight workers commenced this unique Victorian industry-based program. For the first time, new entrants will be placed with the state’s leading mobile crane companies and the state’s leading High-Risk Work training provider CFMEU Education and Training Unit. These workers will be with their employers and us for two years undertaking a full program of training on and off the job. On completion, they will have a string of High-Risk Work licenses (WP, forklift, rigging basic and intermediate, dogging, non-slewing mobile and 20 and 60-tonne mobile crane tickets) as well as some construction industry fundamentals such as reading construction drawings, OHS, safe work at heights and managing fatigue.

Lots of good (log book registered) supervision on the job, lots of fair dinkum experience and the future legends of the sector will be ready to take their place with the best.

Remember that some of these classes have prerequisites – you must do Dogging for example before you do Rigging – and WorkSafe regulates them.

We don’t do quickie courses, and we don’t put people into higher level courses until they have some industry experience.

If you want to get into HRW talk to us and we can help you plan a pathway.

Pre-Apps and Apprentices Our 2019 carpentry pre-apprenticeship group started in early March, and they are full of beans. It is always great to see the enthusiasm of new entrants when they realise they are a part of the real deal. Meeting and learning from experienced construction workers, using hand and power tools for the first time on fair dinkum full-scale projects and learning about the power of collectivism makes this a unique opportunity for these young people. We wish them a great future in the industry.

Meet PETA MURPHY ALP PROFILE

CANDIDATE FOR DUNKLEY

Peta Murphy, Labor’s candidate for Dunkley, fights for the right of everyone to get a good education, find decent and secure work, and access quality health care.

Peta lives a short walk from the centre of Frankston with her husband Rod and their labrador Fred. She has always been actively involved in her local community, volunteering with local sporting clubs and charities.

Motivated by her experience as a breast cancer survivor, Peta has served on the Board of Peninsula Health and often speaks to community groups about breast cancer awareness and the importance of a properly funded, high quality public health system.

Peta is the daughter of two teachers, educated in the public school system and taught to make the most of every opportunity in life. Her life-long commitment to fairness has guided her lengthy legal career, as a policy advisor, barrister, Senior Public Defender at Victoria Legal Aid and Team Leader on the Victorian Law Reform Commission inquiry into reform for victims in the criminal justice system. Peta knows the damage that cuts to public services and a lack of job opportunities cause individuals and communities.

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

Sport has always been a big part of Peta’s life.

She was a state softball representative and played in the national softball league. As an avid squash player who has represented Victoria and won gold at the World Masters Games, she is a past President of Squash Victoria and Vice President of Squash Australia. She still tries to play competition squash when time permits.

Peta was the candidate for Dunkley at the 2016 election, narrowing the margin from 5.6% to 1.4%.

Committed to doing everything she can to ensure this election returns a Labor government, she has spent the last two years working as a Policy Advisor.

She understands what it takes to work hard for her community and to deliver good, fair policy outcomes.

Don’t forget to butter your bread!

Bread and butter fishing is one of the most enjoyable, easy and rewarding types of fishing you can do, especially with the kids. And let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good feed of whiting, flatty tails or calamari?

The beauty with this type of fishing is you don’t need to go far, get up super early, spend lots of money on gear or bait, or even have a boat (although an advantage). Its also a great way to introduce kids to fishing, especially if you know where to go and how to find the fish. One other advantage is you can find all three species in pretty much the same areas.

W here to start I personally love Western Port, mainly because of the proximity you can target a broad range of species. If you have a boat, Hastings would be the easiest and safest ramp to start. It’s accessible all tides and has a well-marked channel, day and night, and has a reasonably large area to park your trailer on those busy days. The beauty of WP is in one spot you can regularly catch whiting, fatties, squid (flicking jigs up onto weed beds) salmon, trevally, pinkies, mullet, gummy and so much more. This type of fishing provides a lot of action, and that is what the kids love, it keeps them interested and with many is where the love of fishing begins.

If you don’t have a boat, you still have some options. The Flinders pier can be hot and cold, but it’s one of the best piers in WP for this type of fishing. You will get big squid and big whiting at times, and it’s not unusual to hook some big toothy critters down there either, however getting them close enough to see what you’ve got can be a challenge. There are also some excellent beaches along Somers and Balnarring that fish well at times too.

Port Philip Bay is also scattered with great spots to target these bread and butter species.

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

Technique -Whiting, small circle hooks or long shank hooks with 1 to 3-ounce bomb sinker on a paternoster rig. Pippi and squid combo is my no1 bait, but muscles work well too (remember our saying with bait fresh is always best). Fish the sand holes that are hidden amongst the weed beds or drop-offs like along the Middle spit (easy to find popular spot out from Hastings). Depths from 1m to 15m but keep in mind the deeper water is more difficult. It’s important to move around until you find the fish and always use burly!!

-Squid, drift over weed beds and cast squid jigs to cover as much ground as possible. The trick is to get your jig as close to the bottom as you can without getting snagged. Generally depths from 1m to 6m, you can find them deeper but can be challenging to keep the jigs down. Try jigs in different colours to work out what is working best and for WP jig size 3-3.5 -Flatties, I find drifting nets the best results, in particular, out offshore in the deeper water. Use any bait you like; in fact, you can use a flatty fillet to catch a flatty. Just make sure you get your bait on the ocean floor as you drift along and you will always pick up other bits and pieces as well. You want a sandy bottom.

Tips Try putting a big bait out the back or in deeper water while fishing for flatties and whiting, it’s not uncommon to get gummy sharks in the same areas you are fishing for these species. WP is renowned for quick moving water and a lot of shallow ground so if you’re not familiar with it take it slowly and be careful, and take heavier sinkers than what you’re used to using.

Panko

crumb

ed fla

tty tai

ls.

Cooked Recently I have discovered panko crumbs, I have given every species I have caught a crack with them and haven’t had one disappointment yet. It is effortless to prepare.

Dust your fillet in flour, beat a couple of eggs and dip your fillet in, drop fillet on a plate of panko crumbs and cover generously, drop fillet in a pan with hot oil, flip once and serve with some salad….magic.

Stay safe out on the water, include the kids and remember, work to live don’t live to work.

KOORI

SURFING TITLES 52

CFMEU AUTUMN 2019

The CFMEU sponsored annual Woorrangalook Victorian Koori Surfing Titles were held at Urquhart Bluff on the Great Ocean Road just past Anglesea on the weekend of the 9th -10th of February.

More than 100 Indigenous surfers from across the state gathered to celebrate the 21st annual event, which brought together Indigenous communities in a fun weekend celebrating surfing and Indigenous culture.

A welcome addition was the contingent from the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS). These participants included members from the Northern Territory, who despite the climate change brought high energy to the event.

The event was opened by Wadawurrung Elder Corrina Eccles and cleansed with traditional smoking and mixing of the waters ceremony. Early rain showers didn’t dampen the spirits with participants taking to the water in Learn To Surf water safety sessions. In the afternoon, competition got underway with all junior divisions finalised, along with Open Women and Masters Women.

In a Tag Team event between Victoria Police, Department of Justice, Strong Brother Strong Sister, CFMEU and Wathaurong Men’s Group, the Strong Brother Strong Sister secured the win on the final wave of the heat after a high scoring exciting battle.

Sunday saw a more considerable improvement in weather and ocean conditions, with a clean swell, light winds and sunny skies.

After qualifying rounds on the previous rounds, both the Open and Masters Men’s finals were contested. Utilising powerful forehand carves, Red Hill‘s Rhys Collins claimed both divisions, gaining a wildcard into the Rip Curl Pro Trials at Bells Beach from his performance in the Open Men division.

Communities represented at the event included East Gippsland, Portland and the South West, Koroit, Bendigo, Ballarat, Shepparton, Metropolitan Melbourne, Bass Coast, Mornington Peninsula, Latrobe Valley as well as Geelong and the Surf Coast.
