Australian GetUp was founded by David Madden and Jeremy Heimans, the same week Liberals under Howard won power in the Senate in 2005. These two founders both from America were also involved with another Soros-financed left-wing activist group, MoveOn.org. Public records reveal that between January 2003 and December 2004, Soros contributed $2,500,000 to MoveOn.org.

It would be a toss up which is the most corrupt Àustralian Union – the Maritime Union or the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy union

Madden and Heimans are also co-founders of the global activist group, Avaaz.org, an organization that the Canadian Minister John Baird in 2008 labelled as “shadowy foreign organization tied to billionaire activist George Soros.”

AVAAZ is a global online political community of 3.5 million members with a consulting firm called PURPOSE CAMPAIGNS that assists organisations like GetUp on how to build movements and give training to activists…also funded heavily by Soros.

The largest donor to GetUp in Australia in 2010 with a donation of $1.1 million is the CFMEU, a coalition of 5 former communist unions.

Another AVAAZ linked cause to GetUp, namely “Climate Alarmism” in Australia, received an alleged $15 million donation from Soros.

On GetUp’s original board, members included Australian Workers Union secretary Bill Shorten, Australian Fabian Society National Secretary Evan Thornley, Green activist Cate Faehrmann, and left-wing trade union researcher and “community organiser” Amanda Tattersall.
