    Imagine not being able to speak, or act on your own principles. Labor can go stuff it. Regardless if this is about youth crime, indigenous issues, poverty, whatever. If you’re not allowed to be your own human because you’re in labour, and you have to betray yourself, then why would anyone even want to be part of their strict little party.
