THE Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union was involved in an alleged fundraising tour by a woman who has since been imprisoned in Colombia for organising financial support to a "narco-terrorist" organisation.
Trade unionist and filmmaker Liliany Patricia Obando was jailed last year in Colombia over her alleged international fundraising campaigns to help the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, a Marxist group known as FARC.
While visiting Melbourne and Perth, Obando posed for photographs with controversial CFMEU heavyweights such as Joe McDonald and Kevin Reynolds. Another organiser, Vinne Molina, who is the president of the Communist Party of Australia, recently travelled to Colombia and visited Obando in prison in Bogota.
Then there is this where the man's wife used state Government money to fund a trip to Cuba (which is Communist, how interesting!). If Cuba is such a great place then why couldn't they pay for the lady's journey instead of 'capitalist' taxpayers?
MP Shelley Archer went on a $5000 taxpayer-funded junket to communist Cuba just weeks before her retirement on Thursday.
Ms Archer cleaned out her imprest bank account several weeks ago to join her husband, union boss Kevin Reynolds, in Cuba for the annual International Workers Day march presided over by President Raul Castro.
