Labor ‘alienating everybody else’ while trying not to lose Muslim voters

DPG Advisory Founder and Director David Gazard discusses how the conflict in the Middle East is driving domestic politics. “The unfolding problem in the Labor Party where there are domestic political concerns, if they're not driving the Labor Party, they are certainly part of the calculation,” Mr Gazard told Sky News Australia. “Seats in Western Sydney and in parts of Melbourne where there is high Muslim immigration and there’s been high settlement ... from my point of view, this is where the Labor Party finds itself sort to trying to straddle a fence and not really appealing to anyone. “In a lot of ways, Labor is locked in a bid to win Green preferences and not lose Muslim voters … but kind of alienating everybody else.”
