Why Senator Fatima Payman crossing the floor was so rare | The Daily Aus

On Tuesday night, WA Senator Fatima Payman did what no Labor Government member had done since 1988 - she crossed the floor of the Senate to vote against her party. Payman voted with the Greens and two independents on a motion asking the Senate to urgently recognise a Palestinian state. In today’s deep dive, we’ll explore her historic move, why she did it, and what’s next.

    Christ, those two raging self-publicists will damage anything they're associated with. If they have anything to do with it, there's no hope for Palestinian self-determination.

    Something the mass immigration to the global west has exposed is that all all ideologies, religions, and cultures are not equal. The global west has become soft due to the relatively easy social and economic conditions we've developed. The rest of the world wants that too but seems incapable of developing that on their own or interacting it that environment without destroying it due to archaic ideology and criminality. Anytime you see a Muslim in an elected position know that will always vote for anything that will increase Islamic power.

    They want to recognise a 'state' that is ruled by a group we recognise as terrorist group, one that started a war with a terrorist attack. We're bamboozled with memes and clichés like 'diversity is our strength' and we're proud of our 'multi-culturalism' like we're living in clown world.

    But her family fled a nation who are hard line Islamists. The question is do they really flee Afghanistan due to unsafe conditions or there's an intention to implement Sharia law in Australia.
