Exclusive: ‘Decisive fight’ looms as Anthony Albanese faces union push to prevent MPs voting in support of deals it has not negotiated
The federal Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, faces a union push to stop MPs voting in support of free trade agreements struck by the government, in a controversial motion heading for a showdown at this week’s national conference.
The potential split among delegates over free trade comes as Albanese told Guardian Australia this week’s meeting will help finalise a “clear narrative” to take to the next election, with dozens of policies from the last election under Bill Shorten to be dumped.
