In response to Payman shatters the shackles of political amorality

Peter Henning gets Gaza & Labor right

Thank you Peter Henning. We needed such a detailed timeline of how the Labor elite is trying to destroy Senator Fatima Payman’s determined drive to recall Labor to its principles on Gaza. This has been a sad and disillusioning week. Labour is doing itself immense damage and losing its voter base in seats with large immigrant-based populations.

The power over the Labor Party of the alliance of Australian Zionism and the old white political power elites has been challenged by Payman’s idealism and courage. The result will be very damaging to Labor at the next election: it will face new opposition coalitions in its heartlands and may be forced into opposition or to govern in unstable coalitions.

Albanese and his inner circle are mishandling this political challenge so badly.
