In this episode of the Five Minute Advocate, Julie Macken unpacks the aftermath of Senator Fatima Payman’s decision to cross the floor in support of urgent action for Palestine and critiques Labor’s dismissal of the Australian public’s concerns over international issues. Julie challenges the Prime Minister’s warning about single-issue parties threatening social cohesion, arguing that true social cohesion requires national leadership, a respect for diverse perspectives and an understanding that the Australian public is concerned about more than just energy and the cost of living crisis.
