Police charge former CFMEU boss John Setka after what they allege were offensive Christmas Day text messages. Multiple outlets report that prosecutors accuse Setka of sending messages containing crude and derogatory remarks, including instructions or suggestions to “sleep with” someone’s mother and comments about undergoing liposuction. Police also allege the texts include disparaging guidance directed at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, urging recipients to stop “sucking up” to him. The reports indicate the allegations are linked to specific communications sent on Christmas Day and that Setka is facing charges related to the content of those messages. The outlets’ accounts rely on police allegations and do not suggest the outcome of the charges. No consistent details are provided across the sources about the precise charge type, the number of recipients, or whether Setka has responded to the allegations. The matter is presented as an ongoing legal process arising from alleged conduct in text messages.
