A nice piece making it clear that "caucus solidarity" has no place in modern politics. If Labor had let it slide, one senator crossing the floor would have attracted no attention. Instead, it's a disaster on multiple levels. #auspol

I don’t agree that the piece says that, but rather that changing the solidarity rule be considered. That should be separated from this particular instance. I also support recognition of Palestine but don’t agree with Payman’s actions. (And I’m not an ALP member.)

Yes, internal party politics certainly takes precedence over an ongoing, easily-preventable genocide! What was I thinking!
