Anthony Albanese represents the inner Sydney electorate of Grayndler. It is named and proclaimed in 1949 in honour long time of the historical leader of the Australian Workers, Union (AWU), Ted Grayndler, who also served in the NSW parliament. Grayndler died in 1943.
But does Albo (sic) know who Ted Grayndler was, and is the use of the name of the electorate one of those left-overs of our heroic past soon to be cleansed by the globalists?
It should be remembered that Ted Grayndler was in 1886, a foundation member of the Amalgamated Shearers’ Union of Australasia (which subsequently fused with other unions into the immortal Australian Workers’ Union. After the Great Shearers’ Strike of 1891, a struggle for wage justice against cheap labour, including imported labour, Grayndler was appointed shearers’ union organizer for the A.W.U. in New South Wales. In 1900, he became secretary of the Victoria-Riverina branch and operated from St Arnaud in Victoria, and later from Ballarat, home of the Eureka Stockade. In 1912, Ted Grayndler became General Secretary of the AWU which proclaimed ‘White Australia’ one of its essential principles. That remained so until 1970.
Ted Grayndler upheld true labour principles. In 1916, he joined in the anti conscription movement along with the giants of the then Labor Party and other patriots, noting that the conscripted youth could be replaced by the capitalists with labour drawn from the Empire’s colonies – India, Malaya and the South Seas. In the 1920s, Grayndler also condemned the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) for some links it forged with a pan-Pacific union secretariat, observing it was controlled by the communists who sought to bring down the immigration wall. He affirmed the dignity of the Australian workers, the AWU excluding any non white worker from membership, while continuing support for White Australia within the international union movement; Grayndler made it clear workers in Asia should struggle for justice by their own efforts and not seek emigration as the road to betterment. That too, was the logic of legend Arthur Calwell.
The official contemporary history of Ted Grayndler is the one Albanese would endorse. Ted’s nationalism and patriotism are excluded from it: https://atui.org.au/2020/10/09/remembering-ted-grayndler/ It is only a matter of time before the Grayndler electorate is abolished and silently too, as the traitors move to cleanse the Australian Nationality from the Australian earth.Australia First nationalists affirm that Ted Grayndler was one more hero in a pantheon of true Australians, still alive in our thoughts – and therefore with us today in our struggle.
