Comments by new ACTU secretary Sally McManus suggesting that it was reasonable to break unfair laws have been widely criticised. Representatives from the Business Council of Australia, the Australian Industry Group and the Council of Small Business Organisations of Australia were among those to condemn her remarks. Federal Opposition leader Bill Shorten does not support McManus, saying his approach to bad laws was to get them changed. McManus has refused to retract her comments.
