Comment on Labor branch in Albanese’s electorate passes motion supporting Fatima Payman

Is this a reply in the wrong thread? There are a lot of threads about Labor and Payman around the last couple of days, but this one specifically is about how Labor is not even standing up for their own pre-stated beliefs and how the party caucus is going against the wishes of the party’s rank-and-file members. It’s not so much about the extremist approach to caucus solidarity that caused this mess in the first place.

My reply was simply to state that Labour has always had this stance. You can never go against the party on anything, and you have to vote what the party says. It has always been this way.

Right, but the point of this thread is that what the party’s MPs are doing is against the wishes of what the party rank-and-file are calling for. The value or lack thereof of caucus solidarity is a topic for any one of the other threads.
