  • 2023-11-22 How do we fund the social and affordable housing Australia needs?

    Date: Wednesday, 22 November 2023

    Location: Mornington RSL – 27 Virginia St, Mornington

    How do we fund the social and affordable housing Australia needs?

    Join me as I host CFMEU National Secretary Zach Smith for a housing town hall in Mornington to discuss the Union’s Super Profits tax proposal. This is a bold proposal to address the gap between social and affordable housing supply and the need in the Australian community. Hear the work that Labor governments are doing in this space and the Union’s policy proposal to further fund it.

    To register for this event, follow this link:

    Details:

    Date: Wednesday 22 November

    Time: 5:45pm for a 6pm start

    Venue: Mornington RSL – 27 Virginia St, Mornington

    At 35, Zach is one of the youngest national leaders in the union movement. He became national secretary after leading the ACT branch, a role he continues to hold.

    He is passionate about achieving meaningful change for working people, and has vowed to involve the CFMEU in public debates and campaigns about core economic issues in order to shape better public policy for Australian workers.

    I look forward to seeing you there as we continue this important discussion.
