Setka claims he’s a victim

CONTROVERSIAL union boss John Setka has refused to step down from his role as he denies claims he criticised the work of anti-domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty.

Mr Setka says he is the victim of “false allegations” being made for political gain, and has called for the culprit to be suspended from the CFMMEU.

The Victorian secretary of the construction union has been suspended from the Labor Party and will likely be expelled.
