The organisation is launching in Melbourne today as it aims to grow its profile ahead of the next federal election.
Muslim Votes Matter is set to officially launch its national campaign. The Melbourne event on Sunday is set to feature speeches and messages from community leaders on topics including the importance of voting, the war in Gaza , and making informed political choices. The group is seeking to amplify Australian Muslims' democratic participation ahead of the next federal election, describing them as a valuable but underutilised asset.
The group expressed support for Senator Fatima Payman after she broke ranks with the Labor party and voted in favour of a Greens motion calling for Australia to formally recognise a Palestinian state. Payman was later suspended from Labor and eventually quit the party, saying she had felt "exiled" and that she had been left with "no choice".
