In a surprising turn of events, Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister, has hinted that rebel Labor senator Fatima Payman is on the verge of quitting the Labor Party. The Labor branch in Albanese's electorate has shown support for Payman, expressing solidarity with her strong stance on Palestine. It is anticipated that Payman will announce her departure from the party in the coming days, further intensifying the political drama.

Prime Minister Albanese has compared Payman's actions to those of a rogue and confirmed that she is likely to exit the party imminently. The move is expected to boost the Muslim political campaign, with Payman set to join the crossbench, supported by Muslim groups in a groundbreaking political shift. As the focus remains on the Senator, the political landscape in Australia braces for a significant change.

In a surprising parallel to history, the situation echoes previous political shifts, with comparisons drawn to the rise of Pauline Hanson. Analysts speculate on the impact of Payman potentially becoming a central figure in Australian politics, akin to the rise of other controversial figures. The anticipation of Payman's exit has dominated parliamentary discussions, with both supporters and critics closely watching the unfolding events.

The lingering controversy surrounding Senator Fatima Payman's potential departure continues to hold the Australian political scene in suspense. As the countdown to her announcement begins, the country awaits the next chapter in this gripping political saga. Regardless of the outcome, Payman's decision is poised to leave a lasting mark on the political landscape, shaping discussions and strategies for the future.
