Dr Jamal Rifi on the prospect of Muslim Vote candidates in western Sydney
Manage episode 428131324 series 33
The defection of Labor senator Fatima Payman to the crossbench has galvanised many Australians – and not simply those of Muslim or Arab background – to demand the federal government take a tougher line against Israel’s war in Gaza. It has also emboldened activists in the Muslim community to recruit independent candidates to run against Labor MPs in their western Sydney electorates. One of those seats is Watson, held by Tony Burke.
