How was he "posing as a tradie" as stated on the title? The article itself goes on to say: "The businessman later found out a subcontractor he sacked in 2020 had lent the shirt to one of his friends after protest organisers called for marchers to wear hi-vis."I suppose this bloke is a liar and spreading misinformation.....one of the so called crisis actors....

A fake tradie has been uncovered marching at Melbourne’s anti-vax protest rallies after a vaccinated plasterer was smashed with online abuse.
Adam Warne, the owner of AWP Plastering and Rendering, was stunned when he saw a protester wearing his company’s high-vis polo shirt on Nine News on Wednesday.
Mr Warne and his staff are all vaccinated and do not support the rallies.
He copped a barrage of online abuse after the image aired, but said the man never worked for him and was not a tradesman.
Adam Warne (right) was blasted with abuse online.
“I was literally in the doctor‘s waiting room about to have my first jab when it came up on the news,” he told The Daily Mail.
The businessman later found out a subcontractor he sacked in 2020 had lent the shirt to one of his friends after protest organisers called for marchers to wear hi-vis.
But the protester‘s decision to wear the hi-vis shirt led to Mr Warne being bombarded with threatening phone calls, as his company logo was incorrectly associated with the anti-lockdown movement.“To have my name associated with someone like that, I was devastated. It has absolutely nothing to with us. I’ve never met the guy wearing it,” he said.“Neither me, nor my business, or any of my guys support these protests.

He added that the person wearing the shirt was never employed by his company.
“From what we‘ve found out, the connection is one of our subcontractors we had late last year, a guy from Pakenham who was no good, so we had to let him go,” he said.
“A couple of his mates have gone to his house yesterday and borrowed his shirts and gone to the protest. From what I‘ve been told the guy wearing our shirt isn’t a tradie.”
The protests have seen thousands of men in high-vis clothing flood Melbourne’s streets, drawing a heavy response from law enforcement.
They have brawled with police, smashed windows, thrown urine at a reporter and occupied the city‘s Shrine of Remembrance.
CFMEU Victorian state secretary John Setka has blamed right-wingersand neo-Nazis for hijacking the protests.
“People that were involved in the violent protest, you know what, they might as well go and pick fruit in Mildura somewhere,“ he said.
“They will not be working in our industry. We don‘t need people like that.
Our industry, we try and make it safe, we don‘t need drunken morons who think that throwing bottles at people is a good way to protest.”
Lying fucking media. Every time.
Love how they dont even try to hide their manipulative agenda with these articles
"I just happened to be getting my jab like a responsible Aussie when I copped a ton of threats from people over the phone. No need to ask about whether the police will be following up these threats (it is a commonwealth crime to use a carrier service to issue threats). None of my workers support these protests which have attracted thousands and are popular on social media. The guy who gave him the shirt was shit his job by the way, had to fire him."
Likely fuckin story. These lying journo fucks wonder why people throw shit at them?
