| 1625335572083675138 | To weed out “Terfs” @VicUnions is having their sausage fest International Womens Day March tonight & you must register your attendance. It will be a sea of men and @CFMEU flags & angry women shouting about “trans” aka mens rights & sex work. Pic I took at last years IWD march: https://t.co/tPWgMYJOwX | 46 |
| 1625278979711328256 | Union members are mobilising to support earthquake victims in Turkiye & Syria. Already over $12,000 raised. Every donation, big or small will go a long way to support those left devastated. @VicUnions @TWUVicTas #ausunions https://t.co/3bo6u0nSPv | 12 |
| 1625663097280299014 | Great to be back with @lhilakari & my friends at @VicUnions and hear the great work of the @YWCVictoria @FelicityLS supporting workers & young people in Victoria! https://t.co/jp2Go0uDoL | 10 |
| 1627952210637385728 | Here’s an idea @timpallas How about we talk 4DWW trial in the VPS. We can jointly work to deal with staff shortages, cut burnout and your agencies exploding WorkSafe insurance premiums, and reap the benefits by improving public service’s delivery #springst @VicUnions #WINWIN https://t.co/r9CwhVZFtl | 1 |
| 1625043511476387840 | @BehrouzBoochani wrote No Friend But The Mountain while detained on Manus. He has a second book out Freedom Only Freedom. He has acknowledged the damage done to Indigenous people by colonialism, noting the continuing damage for asylum seekers. @withMEAA @pen_int @VicUnions https://t.co/SFYCqBPpIz | 1 |

| 1625999557338497024 | @MaddyLove2018 @AFTINET @VicUnions It's all so strange to witness, and it seems so much modern leftism is brand rather than principles oriented.Protesting opaque supranational attacks on sovereignty, whether from the WTO / MAI in the 90s, or the WEF and WHO in the 20s, is consistent application of principles. | 1 |
| 1625340409219260416 | @angijones @VicUnions @CFMEU Unions have only ever paid lip service to women's rights IMHO. I've known too many women sexually harassed by male unionists to believe otherwise. Let's face it, if they were truly about women's rights they would not be promoting men as women. | 1 |
| 1625042160549793792 | @BehrouzBoochani and @pen_int’s Arnold Zable are before a sellout crowd. They are reflecting on how wonderful it has been for Behrouz to walk free in the streets of Melbourne. Behrouz starts by expressing solidarity with Mahvash Sabet, Baha’i writer & poet. @withMEAA @VicUnions https://t.co/dc7SFaNrY6 | 1 |
| 1625354436662165504 | @SistsShere @VicUnions @CFMEU Should hear how they speak about iconic unionist Irene Bolger. Calling her a dinosaur, senile etc because she defended us for defending Womens sex based rights. | 0 |

| 1625358902413111297 | @coveredincovid @VicUnions @CFMEU Yep. They used to be a celebration of being a woman as well as highlighting issues like domestic violence, personal safety, workplace inequality. Now they are all about “trans sex workers rights” and neutral language. When men were invited to participate it became all about them! | 23 |
| 1625344314967728128 | @angijones @VicUnions @CFMEU What a joke. And an insult. The IWD marches I helped to organise always asked men to line the streets to honour us or march respectfully at the back | 12 |
| 1625342193736257536 | @angijones @RoseFashion191 @VicUnions @CFMEU Sausage fest lol 😂 | 8 |
| 1625378473870036992 | @angijones @VicUnions @CFMEU And people wonder why I don’t like unions…this is exactly it right here in a post and a picture. My experience may have been years ago but nothing much has changed. Misogyny thinly veiled but will pick up any fringe group that supports their agenda. | 8 |
| 1625387228708110338 | @angijones @VicUnions @CFMEU Most places wouldn't stand having the head of their organisation breaching behaviour orders against women.But the CFMEU is different. https://t.co/gVLSZWWgUs | 8 |
