Community Union Defence League
The Community Union Defence League (CUDL) is an Australian mutual aid group that is led by the Australian Communist Party.[1] HistoryIn November 2020, a street kitchen was started by CUDL in Coffs Harbour in response to significant homelessness in the area.[2] In August 2021, CUDL Adelaide members manning a street kitchen in Whitmore Square were approached by South Australia's Department of Human Services and told they would need to relocate to a different part of the city.[3] The Australian Communist Party and the state Labor opposition questioned whether the visit from the DHS representative constituted a conflict of interest after it was found the chief executive of the DHS also had business ties to a pub nearby.[4] In March 2025, CUDL Brisbane held a protest at Musgrave Park against the decision of Lord-Mayor Adrian Schrinner to evict homeless campers from council parks, with the lead organizer of the protest calling the move "shameful" and "evil".[5] References
