From the time of the 1927 Railway Strike, McCormack and his acolytes within the PLP had emerged as irresponsive and unaccountable to the wishes of the movement. Amongst those which had lost faith in the political leadership was the powerful AWU. Although never advocating a vote against Labor the AWU's criticism of 183 the Government and the conspicuously reduced support it provided during the election campaign provided an unambiguous indication of its displeasure.
