UNI’s General Secretary, Philip Jennings, gave the formal Labour 20 response to the Australian Federal Employment Minister Eric Abetz at the L20 in Brisbane. Jennings called on Australia as the chair of the G20 to deliver on jobs and the fight against inequality.
In his reply Jennings made a reference to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s threat to “shirt-front” (a violent Australian football tackle) President Putin over the downing of Malaysian Airline flight MH17. Jennings said he wanted to play fair but make a serious point about the G20’s obligations.
