BREAKING NEWS: The Coalition have announced they oppose Labor's Bill to shut down the Red Union.

With the Greens already against it, and several crossbench MLCs opposed too, the Government now faces a historic loss on the Bill in the Upper House.

Watch the remarks at a press conference today from Shadow Minister Jade Benham and Red Union Spokesman Edward Schuller.

The Victorian Labor Government is attempting to shut down independent unions which refuse to fund their political campaigns.

Just three months out from an election, they are stripping workers of their right to freely associate. This is a politically motivated attack which must be fought.

Join our fight and take action. More information below!

Victoria's Associations Incorporation Reform Amendment Bill 2026 would let the Government decide which workers' associations may exist. Act before 26 August.

Today marks 107 years since the signing of the armistice which saw the end of the First World War.

As we reflect on the incredible bravery of the Australian men and women who have fought for our country, we must renew our gratitude for their sacrifices - of which more than 100,000 have made the ultimate one.

Australia's involvement in WW1 is one of great magnitude and bloodshed. A small country just 13 years since federation, Australia answered the call to enter the Great War and more than 62,000 perished - over 1.2% of our total population. More to the point, nearly 15% of all the men that enlisted paid the ultimate price.

To understand the sheer scale of the sacrifices made, that equates to 326,400 dead as a proportion of our population today.

The courage and patriotism of all the men and women who have died for our country has left an indelible mark on our nation's history. There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend, and we enjoy the freedoms we have today because of the men and women who have done so.

Let's honour their memory and commemorate their legacy. Lest we forget.
