The Community Union Defence League (CUDL) is an Australian mutual aid group that is led by the Australian Communist Party.[1]

As of 2021, CUDL operates branches in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Coffs Harbour.[1]

History

In 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 were approached by South Australia's Department of Human Services, and told they would need to relocate their weekly street kitchen to a different part of the city.[3] The Australian Communist Party, and the state Labor opposition questioned the visit from the DHS representative constituted a conflict of interest, after it was found the chief executive also had ties to a pub nearby Whitmore Square.[4]
