Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes says the “doors open to everybody else” to vote against the Labor Party if Senator Payman is “allowed to slip through”.
Labor Senator Fatima Payman crossed the floor to vote against her party on a motion related to Palestinian recognition.
“Overwhelmingly, members of the Labor Right, including women from the Labor Right, have said if we strayed this far from the path, we would’ve been gone months go,” Ms Hughes told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“I don’t envy the Labor Party for this … if she is allowed to slip through just because she’s a woman in a hijab, then, you know, it’s going to throw the doors open to everybody else.”
