Possible blowback to Anthony Albanese’s decision to suspend Fatima Payman

There could be blowback to Anthony Albanese’s decision to suspend Senator Fatima Payman indefinitely from the Labor caucus with a key vote looming in parliament. There will be a vote by Labor to ban the live sheep export. The vote itself is now set to pass because Labor, as of today, is believed to have the numbers to push it through. Ms Payman is understood not to be too happy with her treatment that happened on Sunday.
