Doug Cameron, Australian Manufacturing Workers Union national secretary: "It is quite clear we will not be in a position to put substantial financial or physical resources behind the [Labor] Party as a whole, because the parliamentary caucus has chosen to betray our members."

Tim Gooden, assistant secretary of the Geelong and Region Trades and Labor Council and Socialist Alliance candidate for Corio: "The only clear beneficiaries of this deal are Australia's big corporations".

Dean Mighell, Victorian secretary of the Electrical Trades Union: "Australia is set to sell its cultural soul and its manufacturing soul and workers will only suffer enormously."

Chris Cain, secretary of the Maritime Union Australia, WA:

"The Labor Party is not fair dinkum about supporting Australian working class people."
