John Setka Faces Court Over Alleged Threats

John Setka, ex-head of the CFMEU, is back in court facing 10 counts of menacing via text and email, plus one indictable offense while on bail — all stemming from explosive messages sent to a former union admin last October. The texts include vile language like “get your nose out of albos ass” and “PM should have a colonoscopy,” along with unsolicited weight loss advice and racial slurs. Setka’s team claims he’s been targeted by death threats, and police are investigating. This isn’t his first rodeo — similar allegations surfaced in a prior CFMEU inquiry. He’s out on bail, and the legal battle is far from over. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
