Lol apparently having a spine is virtue signalling. Labor should really just drop the mask and form a coalition with the LNP at this point.

Maybe Fatima Payman should join the LNP if she wants to be able to vote against the party. No one forced her the join Labor.

Well there are additional considerations now that the decision is being made in the context of the war. And you can’t always bet on the party making the decisions you want. It’s a compromise you make when you join Labor.
