Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in a "dilemma” after Labor Senator Fatima Payman “blindsided” her party by crossing the bench on Palestine.

“It’s quite the dilemma for Anthony Albanese and can be framed as a test of his leadership,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“This PM at the moment, even when he thinks he’s having a good day, it turns into a bad day.”

    And where is Palestine? It no longer exists. Jordan sits right on part of that territory that was known as Palestine.

    She is supposed to be representing labor voters not as an individual. Senators are elected as a party . She should be expelled and replaced by her political party
  • My grandparents were immigrants. They left their country and left their affiliations overseas. They came here and became Australians. These people want to change Australia not embrace it

    I expect her to be sacked or resign. She does not represent the vast majority of Western Australians.
