According to a top pollster, young Muslim women and women of colour are driving a galvanised force to remove Labor at the next federal election, as they prove to be the most fortified allies of 'exiled' senator Fatima Payman.
Tetyana Sukkar can't help but look at the federal government with disdain as she sees the horrors unfolding in Gaza. "Once upon a time, Labor represented the whole of the community. I just don't see it that way anymore,” the young Palestinian Australian woman told SBS News.
"Before I came into this place, these horrifying stories … it would scare me. I'd be like, 'Man, what kind of place is this?'" she told SBS News in March 2023. "The workplace culture here is amazing, far better than what I had anticipated coming in." Australia's first Muslim female MP Anne Aly denies that Payman has been exiled, saying MPs have personally reached out to Payman to support her.
