‘Vulnerable young senator’: Fatima Payman won’t receive disciplinary action

WA Labor Senator Fatima Payman has been condemned by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Senate after she accused Israel of genocide. “This incident took the risk of further inciting intentions in the Australian community on the issue,” Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said. “But the Senator is not facing disciplinary action with the PM’s view being she’s a vulnerable young senator and has been subject to a lot of pressure to come forward with the views she did.”
