In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom speak to Elizabeth Doidge, former official at the Victorian branch of the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union. What was it like to work for the CFMEU - was it all thuggery and boy’s clubs? Has the government overreached with its crackdown on the union? Did Max Chandler-Mather deserve Sarah Ferguson’s “full-throated” 7.30 attack?  Will Labor’s sell-out of the labour movement come back to bite it?
