Fatima Payman claims she has been “exiled” and believes Labor members are working to “intimidate me into resigning” from the Senate following her suspension from caucus at the weekend. The West Australian was suspended indefinitely after vowing to continue crossing the floor in support of Palestinian statehood. On Monday, the rogue senator said she had been left out in the cold. “I have lost all contact with my caucus colleagues.
The first-term senator gave a defiant interview on Sunday, declaring she had received overwhelming voter support for her stance on Palestine despite being given the cold shoulder by some colleagues. It prompted an escalation from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who suspended the senator from the caucus indefinitely after she had previously been banned from a single meeting.
