Fatima Payman delivers emotional statement as she resigns from Labor
Senator Fatima Payman has announced her resignation from the Labor Party as she delivered an emotional statement on Thursday.
This comes after Ms Payman was indefinitely suspended from the Labor caucus after she crossed the floor to vote with the Greens on Palestinian statehood.
“I am torn, deeply torn,” Ms Payman said during a media conference on Thursday.
“When history looks back, it must see that we stood on the right side of humanity, even when it was difficult – sadly, I do not believe our principles align with those of the leadership of the Labor Party.
“With a heavy heart but a clear conscience, I announce my resignation from the Australian Labor Party – I have informed the Prime Minister that, effective immediately, I will sit on the crossbench to represent Western Australia.”
