The Greens have come out in support of the peak construction union, the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining And Energy Union (CFMEU), following their launch of a national campaign for a super profits tax on Australia’s wealthiest companies to fund affordable and social housing.
The launch follows a report commissioned by the union from research by Oxford Economics Australia, which found Australia was short 190,000 social dwellings and 559,000 affordable ones across the country.
