John Setka (born September 1964) is an Australian trade unionist. He is secretary of the Victorian-Tasmanian division of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, and Energy Union which also administers the South Australian division under a temporary arrangement. He is a controversial figure in the Australian trade union movement. He is known for his strong support at a grassroots level, especially among the rank and file of the CFMMEU. His supporters regard him as a strong advocate against political, legal, and industrial opponents; the national secretary of the union, Christy Cain has called him one of the "most fair dinkum union people in this country". On the other hand, Setka's political opponents have derided him as a bully, and criticized his purported stance that it can be necessary to break the law to pursue union interests. He has also faced strong criticism for alleged public remarks on the topic of domestic violence, and a guilty plea for harassing his ex-wife via text, issues that contributed to his formal expulsion from the Australian Labor Party in 2019. In recent years Setka's personal life has been the subject of considerable media attention. His marital breakdown, and associated legal issues, have led to additional public criticism. John Setka was born to a Croatian family. His father was a labourer named Bob Setka, who survived the West Gate Bridge collapsein 1970, one of the worst industrial accidents caused by employer negligence in Victoria's history. Setka began working as a labourer at the age of 19. He began involvement with trade unionism first after joining the Builders Labourers Federation. He was mentored by state secretary John Cummins. Under John's leadership, media commentators have noted the "pervasive power of the CFMEU over construction companies". In 2012 he unsuccessfully attempted to sue the opposition leader Tony Abbott in defamation after Abbott called him a thug. In 2015, Setka encouraged workers within the Rail, Tram and Bus Union to strike during the Australian Football League finals to "use finals fever to their advantage in their bitter industrial fight with Metro Trains and Yarra Trams". The decision was criticised by Victorian Labor minister Jacinta Allan due to the strike's impact on businesses. Setka openly criticised the former prime minister Kevin Rudd in 2018. During a speech, he said: 'he's one of the worst fucking Labor PMs we've ever had ... (because) ... he kept the ABCC and coercive powers and he wants to talk about workers and the trade union movement.' Setka is known for his public condemnation of the ABCC and its staff. In 2017 he publicly threatened to target the home addresses of building watchdog inspectors and lobby local footy clubs so their "kids will be ashamed of who their parents are". These comments were controversial. On the other hand, he is regarded by many in the union movement, especially in the industrial left faction; to be a robust and genuine union activist. He has in the past had strong support from Luke Hilakari, among other prominent leaders in the trade union movement. In August 2022 a unanimous ballot at the South Australian branch of the CFMMEU brought about a co-operative administration arrangement between that branch, and the Victorian-Tasmanian division led by Setka. In 2015 Setka was arrested and forced to appear in court to face blackmail charges. On the day of his court appearance, around 2,000 CFMEU members and other unionists gathered outside the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 8 December to show their support. Three years later, the Victorian prosecution office dropped the charges, a decision that the Magistrate Charles Rozecwajg described in court as 'very sensible. Setka spoke outside of court saying that he had been the victim of a witch hunt. He later sued a group of executives from the company Boral, successfully obtaining a settlement after alleging they conspired in the tort of malicious prosecution. Expulsion from Labor In June 2019 John attended a meeting of his union's national executive. It was reported by The Age that during that meeting, he made comments to the effect that the work of Rosie Batty had left men with fewer rights. Setka publicly denied that he made the comments. Following the reporting of these comments, the Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese proposed to expel Setka from the Labor Party. John publicly objected to this attempt at expulsion and claimed that there was "dirty politics at work". He made an implicit claim that he was the victim of a witch hunt, driven by his "view of where the union should be in regard to the ALP, and some people probably don't share that view". Reactions to John's behavior and his potential expulsion were mixed. The CFMEU Victoria branch (that he controlled) threatened to cut financial support to the ALP if he was expelled.  The NSW and WA branches also expressed their support. Numerous politicians, as well as the ACTU secretary Sally McManus called on John to step down. Additional pressure upon John arose after the Senate crossbencher Jacqui Lambie threatened political blackmail, making a demand that he steps down or she would vote for a bill strongly opposed by the union movement. This threat was made during a lunch invitation at her Tasmanian house. In the midst of these events, John pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to harass a person in the Melbourne magistrate's court. The victim was identified as his wife at the time, Emma Walters. Following this, more than a dozen individual unions, including the three biggest in the country, renewed their calls for Setka to step aside. Some factional allies of Setka, like the then head of the RTBU Luba Grigorovitch , maintained their support. In July, John applied for an injunction at the Victorian Supreme Court to stop the expulsion decision. He argued at court that the ALP national executive didn't have the legal power to expel him, and that it was instead a matter for the Victorian State party branch. The court decided in August 2019 that the motion to expel Mr. Setka was 'outside the court's jurisdiction', and that it 'could not interfere with internal decisions of voluntary unincorporated associations'. In October he commenced an appeal of this decision, before withdrawing. After its withdrawal, the ALP immediately expelled him.

Wall Street closed higher across the key indices on Friday as favourable economic data strengthened investor sentiment in the U.S. economy. The S&P500 rose for a sixth straight session, ending the day up 0.53%, the Dow Jones rose 0.64% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.18% despite Tesla shares slumping over 13% after the EV giant posted disappointing fourth-quarter results and warned of lower vehicle volume growth for the year ahead.US GDP data out late last week indicated the world's largest economy grew at a rate of 3.3% in Q4 which was well above economists' expectations of a 2% growth and provides further support that the U.S. economy remains resilient despite the currently high interest rate environment.Personal consumption expenditures data out of the US also pointed in the right direction for economy stability against inflation falling in fresh data out last Thursday. The PCI data, a preferred measure of inflation for the fed, showed an increase of 2% for the latest quarter.Over in Europe, markets closed at a two-year high on Friday as investors welcomed a slew of favourable economic data, the ECB's latest rate decision and corporate fourth quarter earnings results. The STOXX600 rose 1.1% on Friday led by household goods jumping 5.2%. Germany's DAX ended Friday's session up 0.32%, the French CAC added 2.28%, and, in the UK, the FTSE100 rose 1.4%.Luxury brand retailer LVMH jumped 13% on Friday after posting strong fourth quarter results indicating sales which is a key boost for the luxury market in a time of slowing consumer spend.The European Central bank also met market expectations late last week by maintaining the ECB interest rate steady at 4% for a third straight time.Across the Asia markets on Friday, stocks mostly declined as investors piled out of EV stocks in the region amid concerns of slowing demand, while investors also digested inflation data out of Tokyo. Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 1.8% on Friday, China's CSI ended the day down 0.27%, and Japan's Nikkei fell 1.34%. Japan's inflation reading for January came in softer compared to December's reading at 1.6% growth YoY and below the 1.9% rise economists were expecting.Locally on Friday, the ASX200 was closed for the Australia day public holiday.What to watch today:Ahead of the first trading session for the week here in Australia, the SPI futures are expecting the ASX200 to open the first trading day of the week up 0.19%.On the commodities front this morning, oil is up 0.84% at US$78.01/barrel, gold is down 0.07% at US$2018.38/ounce and iron ore is up 1.10% at US$137.50/tonne.AU$1.00 dollar is buying US$0.66, 97.43 Japanese Yen, 51.74 British Pence and NZ$1.08.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has maintained a sell rating on Fortescue (ASX:FMG) but has slightly increased the price on the big miner following the release of the company's December quarter results including iron ore shipments coming in-line with Bell Potter expectations, however, water supply disruptions continued to impact high grade magnetite production at Iron Bridge and FY24 guidance has been lowered again.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Boral (ASX:BLD) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 29-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $5.26 to the range of $4.92 to $4.98 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

The penny has dropped and thanks to a three-letter word from the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate decision ("any"), small caps both in the US and in Australia have started to rocket out of a long slumber. For most of the last 18 months, small cap performance at an index level has been smashed thanks to the soaring cost of capital. But now that markets have called central banks' bluff, we're entering what Ben Griffiths of Eley Griffiths Group calls a "pause rally" - the kind of rally that has a lot of cash looking for a new home. "I'm not for a second suggesting that the lunatics are out of the asylum but there has been some stability and sentiment is such that you can sketch out a constructive path for equities. There's a buoyant time ahead for us," Griffiths said. Another worthwhile indicator of the return of risk is the IPO market - and as Griffiths knows all too well, the phone calls have dried up considerably. And while the phone is not ringing off the hook yet, he does see some signs that listing activity is itching for a rebound. "There were a number of IPOs that were slated for transacting and listing before Christmas that have now been pushed into March. These will be extra well sought after in March - or certainly pre-June 2024," he said.  In this, our second last episode of The Rules of Investing for 2023, James Marlay sits down with Griffiths for an extended conversation about the smaller end of the market. Hear about some of the companies that stood out from the recent AGM season, how Griffiths is investing in light of a "higher for longer" rate environment, and why he's dipping his toes into a well-known company that fell from darling to dog. Timecodes: 0:00 - Intro 1:15 - Three macro signals Ben pays attention to - and what these are saying about the markets 4:45 - Is risk back and is the "pause rally" underway? 8:44 - Was October 30th 2023 the day the market declared the war on inflation over? 10:16 - What are you hearing about the appetite for more ASX IPOs? 14:00 - What are the drivers of the divergence between large cap and small cap performance - and when will it turn? 18:00 - The ASX companies which stood out from the November AGM season - Breville Group (ASX: BRG), Boral (ASX: BLD), Ridley Corporation (ASX: RIC) 19:16 - Portfolio construction and stock picks for a "higher for longer" interest rate environment - Monadelphous (ASX: MND), ARB Corporation (ASX: ARB), Capricorn Metals (ASX: CMM), Genesis Minerals (ASX: GMD), Karoon Energy (ASX: KAR) 21:53 - Stocks where margins may have not bottomed out yet - Auckland International Airport (ASX: AIA) and Worley (ASX: WOR) 22:20 - Portfolio construction for the new Eley Griffiths Group mid-cap fund: Audinate (ASX: AD8), Temple and Webster (ASX: TPW), Codan (ASX: CDA) 23:06 - A closer look at Boral and the impact of new CEO Vik Bansal 26:05 - A closer look at one unloved area of the market: REITs 27:52 - Consumer finance stocks have been the subject of investor "angst": Judo Bank (ASX: JDO), Latitude Financial (ASX: LFS), Pepper Money (ASX: PPM), Liberty Financial (ASX: LFG) 29:12 - What would it take for you to turn more positive on these smashed sectors? 31:48 - Why Eley Griffiths Group is launching a new mid-cap fund now 34:34 - Some of the mid-cap fund's early core holdings: CAR Group (ASX: CAR), GQG Partners (ASX: GQG), Genesis Minerals, Boral, Auckland International Airport, Worley 35:37 - The Rules of Investing's three regular questions

Ahead of the RBA's rate announcement next week, we look at the predicted rate outlook for the remainder of CY23, what this means for companies and most importantly, what the outlook means for your portfolio this festive season.In this week's wrap, Grady covers:(0:12) fears and expectations around the cash rate,(0:27) Tuesday's RBA meeting,(1:56) what ‘higher for longer' means for businesses and individuals,(2:29) two companies who excelled in the FY23 reporting season,(3:04) interest rate impacts on portfolios and investment decisions,(4:46) the best performing stocks in the ASX200,(6:12) the most traded stocks & ETFs by Bell Direct clients, and(6:27) five economic news items to watch out for.

Wall Street closed lower on Tuesday, led by the Nasdaq falling 1.04% in its first losing session in three days as Oracle shares plunged 13% on weaker-than-expected quarterly revenue and guidance. The S&P500 fell 0.57% and the Dow Jones fell in afternoon trade to close 0.05% lower after trading higher all day. Chevron shares rallied almost 2% on strength in the price of oil to offset some of the losses for the Dow Jones on Tuesday. Apple shares were also lower in afternoon trade after the tech giant unveiled a new iPhone model this afternoon in US time. Investor attention in the US is focused this week on key inflation data which will be released on Wednesday US time as it will give an indication into how the US economic inflation is faring and provide further support for the Fed to either raise or hold rates at the next FOMC meeting.In Europe, markets closed mixed across the board on Tuesday ahead of key economic data released later this week. The STOXX600 fell 0.2%, Germany's DAX fell 0.54%, the French CAC lost 0.35% and, in the UK, the FTSE100 rose 0.41%.UK average earnings data released overnight showed regular pay excluding bonuses in the UK went up 7.8% YoY in the three months to July, which is the same reading as the prior quarter and the highest regular growth rate since comparable records began in 2001, in a sign inflation remains high in the region.The local market has rallied across the first two sessions of this week amid a rise in staple and financial stocks over the two trading sessions. On Tuesday, the ASX200 rose 0.20% led by materials stocks lifting 0.9% on a 3% rise in the price of iron ore following better-than-expected economic data out of China in the form of total credit growth climbing in August 2023, marking the first month-on-month acceleration since March.It was a big day for lithium miners yesterday with some mining giants making key strategic moves that had investors excited. Delta Lithium shares jumped almost 6.5% after Mineral Resources founder and CEO joined Delta Lithium's board as non-executive chairman, and Mineral Resources increased its shareholding in Delta to 17.4%.What to watch today:Ahead of the local trading session here in Australia the SPI futures are anticipating the local market to open the midweek session down 0.29%.On the commodities front this morning, oil continues to strengthen, trading up 1.70% at US$88.77/barrel, gold is down just shy of half a percent at US$1913/ounce and iron ore is up 3% at US$120/tonne on the back of that favourable economic data out of China reigniting demand outlook for iron ore from the region.AU$1.00 is buying US$0.64, 94.48 Japanese Yen, 51.28 British Pence and NZ$1.09.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has increased the rating on EROAD (ASX:ERD) from a hold to a buy whilst lowering the 12-month price target from $1.25 to $0.90 amid forecasting for the NZ$50m capital raising and the subsequent impact to NPAT that is expected by Bell Potter's analyst. Bell Potter questions the decision to raise equity capital at such a sharp discount to the last close – especially after the EROAD board rejected the non-binding indicative offer of NZ$1.30/share from Brillian APAC, but the Bell's analyst does recognise the much-strengthened balance sheet which now removes risk of another capital raise in the short term.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Boral (ASX:BLD) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 9-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $4.65 to the range of $4.13 to $4.23 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

The ASX rallied 0.35% today, rebounding from yesterday's rate-driven sell-off as investors piled into financial and material stocks today, while selling out of health care and consumer staples stocks.Boral (ASX:BLD) shares took flight today, adding over 12% after the building and construction materials supplier released first half results including revenue up 12% to $1.681bn, EBIT up 15% at $95.3m, NPAT increased 53% to $56.8m and adjusted EPS rose 50% to 5.1c/share. New Boral CEO Vik Bansal said RBA rate hikes haven't crimped customer demand for cement, asphalt and gravel.Suncorp (ASX:SUN) shares jumped 4.5% today after the Queensland-based financial conglomerate released first half results including group net profit up 44.3% to $560m, and cash earnings up 62.9% to $588m. The company also boosted its dividend payout to 33 cents per share, representing a 71% payout ratio of cash earnings. Group operating expenses fell 3.1% to $1.349bn, largely reflecting efficiency benefits from the strategic program of work, and the company reaffirmed its FY23 financial targets which investors have been looking for companies to share this reporting season.Strike Energy (ASX:STX) has accepted Hancock Prospecting's takeover offer of Warrego Energy for $0.40/share, over its own one-for-one scrip offer for the takeover of Warrego. Strike said despite not acquiring control of Warrego, it has achieved a number of key milestones over the last 6-months including share price appreciation of 40%, $116m in immediately available cash funding following the acceptance of Hancock's offer, and Strike's joint venture partner will be controlled by a credentialed, well-funded and motivated counterparty to pursue development activity in respect of the West Erregulla gas project.The winning stocks today were led by Boral (ASX:BLD) soaring almost 13%, Imugene (ASX:IMU) rallying 7.7% and Suncorp (ASX:SUN) climbing 4.6%.And on the losing end of the market, Elders (ASX:ELD) fell more than 5.8% after the company was sent a price query from the ASX today, while Healius (ASX:HLS) fell 5.4% and Ramelius Resources (ASX:RMS) lost 4.12% today.The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients today were Macquarie Group (ASX:MQG), Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) and Tennant Minerals (ASX:TMS).On the commodities front this afternoon, crude oil is flat at US$77.16/barrel, iron ore is down 0.8% at US$124.50/tonne and gold is up 0.13% at US$1876.33/ounce.The Aussie dollar is buying 70 US cents 91.32 Japanese Yen, 57.24 British Pence, and 1 New Zealand Dollar and 10 cents.

The Aussie share market gained 1.06% this week (Mon-Thu) despite the US Federal Reserve maintaining its hawkish approach to tackling inflation and China's slowing factory activity. In this week's wrap, Grady covers:(0:11) Why iron ore entered freefall mode this week(2:32) China's GDP forecasts(3:40) The best performing stocks on the ASX200(4:42) The most traded stocks & ETFs by Bell Direct clients (5:20) Three economic news items to watch out for

The Aussie share market gained 0.29% this week (Mon-Thu), boosted by the technology sector. The RBA also raised the cash rate to 2.35%, raising consumer concerns about the rising cost of living. In this week's wrap, Grady covers:(0:29) The increase on Australian home loans(0:51) Whether the building boom is over(1:15) When Australians will feel the full brunt of the recent rate hike(3:52) Why energy stocks were sharply sold off(4:45) The most traded stocks & ETFs by Bell Direct clients(5:09) Four economic news items to watch out for

The Australian market closed 0.25% lower on Friday and etched out its second straight week of losses, shedding 3.88% over the last 5 trading days in the indexes worst trading week since June. The materials sector plunged more than 10% for the week as a major lockdown in China weighs on investor sentiment toward the sector, as investors fear iron ore demand from China will weaken following the lockdown. Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) fell 6.23% on Friday, Lake Resources (ASX:LKE) 6.17%, and Sandfire Resources (ASX:SFR) dropped almost 5% to end the week.Investor fears of demand weakening have been the determining factor for investments in materials stocks over the last week, despite some of the mining giants like BHP Group (ASX:BHP) reporting strong FY22 results last week.Despite the turbulent session on Friday, investors piled into Life360 (ASX:360) despite no price sensitive news released by the company on the last trading day of the week. Investors also bought into GPT Group (ASX:GPT) on Friday and Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals (ASX:CUV) rose 2.3% after releasing strong FY22 results.On the losing front, investors sold-out of NOVONIX (ASX:NVX) on Friday with the battery materials and tech company diving more than 8% as investors respond to the company's FY22 results including the full-year loss deepening to $71 million.The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients last week were Boral (ASX:BLD), BHP Group (ASX:BHP) and Core Lithium (ASX:CXO).Over in the US, markets closed lower on Friday despite a morning rally on Wall Street. The Dow Jones and S&P500 each fell 1%, while the Nasdaq lost 1.3%. Stocks rallied in the morning as the US labour department issued a strong jobs report for august, showing payrolls rose 315,000 for the month as companies continue hiring in the tight labour market, while unemployment ticked higher to 3.7% as more people look for work. The sharp sell-off in afternoon trade came as investor sentiment changed to believe the strong jobs report won't cause the feds to act any less aggressively toward tackling inflation for the foreseeable future. Over in Europe, the key markets rallied with the FTSE adding more than 1.8%, the Dax soaring 3.3% and the CAC jumping 2.2%. The G-7 rolled out a plan to cap the price of Russian oil on global markets as part of a set of sanctions aimed at limiting Russia's revenue from oil sales without cutting off oil supply from Russia completely which would send global oil prices soaring.What to watch today:ASX futures are expected to open 0.23% lower on the back of the sell-off on Wall St on Friday.Taking a look at commodities, crude oil is trading just under 1% higher this morning, natural gas is down 4.07%, gold is up just under 1% while iron ore is trading down more than 1%.On the economic data front, final retail sales data for July is released today in addition to ANZ Job ads for August.Investors will also be keeping a close eye on the RBA's interest rate decision for September which is released tomorrow as well as Australian GDP for Q2 out on Wednesday, followed by Australia's trade balance data out on Thursday.Trading Ideas:Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on CSL Limited (ASX:CSL) based on a pattern forming over a 25-day period which is roughly the amount of time the new price target will be achieved in the range between $314/share-$319/share from the close of $295.99/share, according to standard principles of technical analysis.Bell Potter has maintained its rating on Genetic Signatures (ASX:GSS) to a speculative hold rating but downgraded its price target to $1.20/share from $1.25/share based on challenges anticipated to be faced in FY23 including regulatory approval by the FDA for its Enteric Protozan kit expected in Q2 FY23.

The local market closed 0.79% higher on Friday but was virtually unchanged for the week as a broad market sell-off early in the week offset the rally that ended the week. The big banks rallied on Friday along with the materials and energy sectors.Bega Cheese (ASX:BGA) was the winning stock on Friday after the food company released full year results. Despite Bega's NPAT falling 69% to $24.2 million, investors were impressed with the company's revenue of more than $3 billion, which was up 45% year-on-year and the issuing of guidance for FY23 expecting EBITDA to be in the range of $160 million to $190 million for FY23 amid increased consumer prices across all channels.Investors also bought into Viva Energy (AX:VEA) on Friday while selling off City Chic Collective (ASX:CCX) again after the retailer released disappointing results on Thursday, and Zip Co (ASX:ZIP) fell more than 5% on Friday. The common theme continues throughout reporting season, being that investors are selling out of stocks that fail to provide quantitative guidance for FY23, which for last week included Humm Group (ASX:HUM), Coles (ASX:COL) and Ramsay Health Care (ASX:RHC).The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients last week were IDP Education (ASX:IEL), Boral (ASX:BLD) and Alumina (ASX:AWC). In the US and all three key indices closed lower on Friday after the commencement of the Jackson Hole where investor optimism was dampened by Fed Chair Jerome Powell saying the central bank must continue to raise interest rates to stop high inflation becoming a permanent aspect of society.What to watch today:The ASX is expected to open almost 1.5% lower following the sell-off on Wall Street on Friday.As we head into the tail end of earnings season, we have over 60 companies set to report this week, kicking off with Fortescue Metals (ASX:FMG) this morning.On the commodities front, crude oil is trading almost half a percent higher and up 35% year-on-year, brent is up almost 1.5%, natural gas is down slightly but remains up 112% year-on-year, iron ore is also up just under 2%, but gold is trading 1.2% lower.Investors will be awaiting for the preliminary retail sales data to be released for July out today with the market expecting a rise of 0.3%. Australian building Permits for July is also out on Tuesday which will give an insight into the state of the country's building crisis.Trading Ideas:Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Charter Hall Group (ASX:CHC) due to a pattern forming over a 79-day period, indicating the stock price may rise from the close of $13.36 per share to the range of $15.70 to $16.20 per share over the same period of 79 days according to standard principles of technical analysis.Citi maintains a buy rating on Perpetual (ASX:PPT) but have lowered its price target on the stock to $30 per share following the release of FY22 results last week and more importantly, the company's acquisition of competitor Pendal (ASX:PDL), which was announced on the same day the results were released. The downgrade of the price target is on the back of Citi acknowledging both equity market risk and the apparently negative sentiment towards the transaction which could prevent the stock making near term headway.
