What on earth is this woman doing in Australian politics.

She should be leaving parliament entirely, not just the labor party.

Send it back.

why is she in our country

If she feels so strongly on these issues, why doesn't she go try and get elected in those countries she wishes to push her agendas with.. she won't get very far.

Religious politics needs to be banned in Australia.

All senators need to place AUSTRALIA first!!!! Or get the hell out of our government

Yea…we’re farked! Look what’s happening in UK Government.

Payman ran from Afghanistan to escape the Taliban only to promote Hamas which is the same after she got here, what a hypocrite!

Without lies islam dies

First and foremost, her responsibility is to the people that elected her and to address their needs, not this bullshit. She needs to pull her head in

So she is siding with Hamas, proud of her fellow freedom fighters on October 7!!! Absolutely disgusting. Should be expelled from parliament.

Our political system is being undermined by foreign interference

She is very young and wanting to make a name for herself. She has done that , she needs to be very grateful for our country she now lives. What a very young little woman that hasnt matured and be grateful for our country she now lives. My blood boils listening to her, why doesnt she take interest in our age and homeless in the country she now lives. She should be ashamed of herself behaving like a spoilt brat😢😢

An absolute waste of space, her $211k pa salary should be stripped from her and paid to people that need assistance here .

I'm sick to death, of hearing about her! She should have her refugee status revoked. She clearly thinks Islamic values should be pushed in Australia, so what did she escape from, it cant have been Islamic persecution?

Another reason not to vote Labor. It’s stacking up.

THis woman is insane..

She denied the rape of women. Payman is the worst.

Put Australia first!!!! I am sick and tired of religious politics.

Has she even any solutions to those issues? Or is she just a whinger about everything this country has given her in opportunities as a refugee becoming a politician? She’s a disgrace and unfit for parliament.

No terrorist parties in Australian parliament, if they show up vote them out entirely.

Free the Hostages!

Unfortunately I don’t care about Palestine I care about Australia Where I pay my huge taxes I don’t want this women

I thought they wore the clown headware for modesty, look at the red light makeup

Funny how she never mentions Oct 7 once. Another wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Silly woman, it’s Australia first or, get out of politics and find a regular job.

Paynam should resign from parliament, but wont , cause she will lose her 450k house allowance in Canberra.

Save Australia 🇦🇺 vote out Labor 2025

Western Australia should be ashamed.

What's this. Australia has IS senators now? Why don't she's go be a politician for Palestine in Palestine. Instead of annoying Australia, that has nothing to do with us

She was voted into Labor by the people , if she leaves the party she should not be aloud to go to another partyas the people vote for the party.

This is disgusting

theres an issue of humanity? what about the humanity afforded to the people who suffered at the hands of hamas and hazbollah? Please leave quietly and kindly close the door 🚪

less than 2000 primary votes, get rid of her

She should be deported !

She said that she felt deeply thorn. Actually, she has reaped what she has sown.

A religion is a religion and has nothing to do in politics. Politics must look after the good of the entire public society. Not to individual groups or interests.

Payman : " Feeling offended or insulted " is more about her playing the new " it girl "of identity politics.

" the genocide in gaza" , what, do you mean the one declared by hamas on israel as stated in their charter and israel is defending itself against? yes it is bad..

Our taxes been paid to a senator that represents another people, legally the senator should be stripped from her job and made to pay back every cent

The failure of all Muslims worldwide to condemn the events of Oct 7, and even to justify the massacre, reflects on Islam.

When people are imported, they are imported with their foreign issues.

Why can’t all journalists speak the truth like Andrew?

She doesn’t belong to Australia

She was appointed to serve Western Australians, not folks across the globe? Gazans voted for Hamas, bad choice!

How long until the "Jihadi Party" is formed? Labor could certainly lose seats to them in parts of Sydney. First major policy is the introduction of a jizya on the dhimmis while the faithful can continue to rort the welfare system and teach their taxpayer supported kids to bite the hand that feeds them.

As a women, Payman, as a young women would not be able to ever be part of a government or in any position of power in her native Afghanistan nor in Gaza or the West Bank. That is value system she is standing up for and the religion she adheres to and demands we respect. Cloaking it in humanity and victimhood is emotional blackmail that has worked so well for Islamists but not an excuse for her actions.

This was the woman who got about 1600 votes and now will get over a 1.3 million dollars for her 6 year tenure. What a joke. We allowed her father to enter the country illegally and then bring his whole family here. Those who fled Afghanistan and paid at least $20,000 USD to get smuggled to Australia were the rich ones in Afghanistan. I met many, many fine people over there who risked their lives working for us and now can’t get into the country and they are trying the legal way. A close friend had his brother murdered and he somehow survived the attack for working for the British Embassy & still can’t get asylum and yet here we have a woman who wants a Palestinian state to be run by people just as bad or worse than the Taliban! Is shows she isn’t interested in being classed as Australian she can’t even wear the Australian flag on her clothes, the very country that gives her the freedom of free speech and democracy and education as a female, all things she would never have got in her birth country. Compare her to Rita Panahi who is so grateful to Australia for accepting her as a child immigrant and is serving our country by telling the truth etc and this victim of a woman. It’s a disgrace!

No to islam in Australia

The badge she wears should have told everyone who she stands for, and its not Australia.

And the award for martyr of the year goes to...Fatima Payman!

So... 1) she joined parliament 2) failed to gain recognition of Palestine 3) instantly resigned. Am I supposed to believe she was doing a job & serving our country? Because I don't.

Get her out of the country Gaza is not starving they are still holding hostages held in the homes of so called innocent civilians it’s the hostages they are the ones that are starving why is she allowed to broadcast her lies to the nation

Imports should not be allowed to vote for min 10yrs until proven they are committed and working. Definitely not in political or government jobs min 15yrs.

She obviously can’t see Hamas as being inhumane in how they treat Gazanz.

Give it a month and she will be a greens senator!

I don’t care about Palestine. I only care about Australia!

Albanese bought the bastards in and now he needs to get them out.

For my benefit, where is Palestine? Are not Palestinians part of the Arab community? Did Palestinians get evicted from various Middle East countries because they tried to take over with their own rule within those countries? Have they not been welcomed by other Arab and Egyptian nations? What does that tell us?

Go there than and help😂😂😂

She no longer represents those who voted for a Labor senator. She should stand down or be ejected. There is no place for religion in Australian politics, look how it's worked for the middle East.

The diversity we keep being told is our source of pride and strength. Brazil is one of the most racially diverse countries on earth..... So why does nobody want to move there 🤔🤣

Indigenous take note, the pretender wears a badge with flags of two cultures, ALL todays interview footage had the badge @90 degrees, indigenous underneath the failed flag. True colours.

Lets not forget she only received 1861 votes herself, the rest was overflow from the other two Labor senators.

Australia’s version of ilah omar or whatever her name is who has been kicked out of America politics just recently due the same ideals that this one has.

If she is adual citizen,she has no right to be in parliament and should be sacked, why should she be paid with our money.

Good decision. She's not deserve in politics here in Australia. Respect Australia country.

She is sooo uneducated! She talks about 'occupied gaza' !! Sweetheart, Gaza has been occupied by Hamas since........??????? C'mon Senator, what's the Answer????

She has an agenda & it is not for the good of Australia. I am sick of our government allowing terrorism of any kind to be tolerated. Her words cause division .

She more concerned about Gaza than Australia!

if you concern about the humanity, go to your home country and solve the problems of the women who can't go to school. Why Allah hasn't guided you yet?

Payman is the epitome of one of the world's greatest problems, that is, organised religion.

How can someone with dual citizenship be in our Goverment and have a say? Isn't that a conflict of interest.

Let's hope her electorate get rid of her when she comes up for re-election. She knows exactly what she is doing, she is no victim, this is the Islamic radicalisation of Australian politics. Be concerned people, be concerned

Why doesnt Miss Payman complain about Egypt not taking In Fellow Muslims? They live next door to the Arabs in Gaza.

Getting P/O my opinions keep getting removed . How is it they come here / insult us AUSSIES and there opinions aren't deleted. F / O / W /F...........

Australia , please get rid of this dangerous trouble-maker. Her kind of politics have no place in this country.

So she has planned this from the beginning and entry into the parliament through the Labor party was the shortest , easiest and fastest way to begin her assault on our way of life. Big big mistake . Australians mistakenly voted her into the Labor party , not to sit on the bench with other independents. This was a plan and now she's in we can't get her out. If she wants to resign from the position provided by Labor she should be forced to resign completely. We didn't vote for her to become an independent. These people need to be able to be sacked. No place in Australia for religion controlling parliament. Especially from the Islamic crazy fanatics .

Australia has had faith-based parties in before, however, these have not preached hate, killing, nor revenge, nor a crusade against infidels. We need to be careful not to buy any such argument that a Muslim based party is no different to our previous Australian faith-based parties. From the river to the sea is a violent war cry, not a thing of peace, tolerance nor love. Payman is not advocating the peaceful side of Islam, instead a violent crusade against Israil. Wake up Australia, including Muslims who put the peace, tolerance and acceptance of all races and religions and the wonderful country we have before the violence advocated by Payman.

Unerringly hits the nail on the head. These Palestinian activists need to go live in Palestine & run for political office there.

It's well past time we had a first-past-the-post voting in Australia. Maybe then we won't have to put up with turncoats like this pathetic woman. Also once you leave the organisation whose votes were used to get the job you should be made to lose the job.

Can we start a go fund me page for a one way flight to Afghanistan?

Payman has zero mandate to be in the house as an independent. She was elected only by virtue of being a Labor senator.

What about the on going womens rights issues in Afghanistan where she comes from

How's that quota system working out? Quantity Vs Quality. See we bought a dud here. The ALP preferred someone who cares more about other countries than Australia.

Career move . Profile raising . Ignore this showpony .

Will they want Sharia law down the track?

Imagine The ABC had this of been an LNP issue.

I wonder if good old Fatima is aware that palestinians have refused a 2 state solution 5 times before? Silly child

So what did she run away from? The same group of guys like hamas? Or peace loving islamists.. now she is playing victim

Apparently, if you hold dual citizenship, you're not eligible to become Senator. Hello. Senator Payman holds dual citizenship. This is the reason why Australians have zero confidence in our government. Double standards apply.

She really needs to shut up

So what's the big deal about that? Good on her. She voted with her conscience. Her set of morals. I have to respect that. The Labour caucus represents the unions and vested party interests, not the wider Australian population.

And so it begins…………..we’re catching up to the not so United Kingdom……..

As the saying goes." You need a long spoon.."

Her father arrived in Australia by boat during the Rudd government, he was leaving pakistan, he was registered as a economic refugee. After being released into Australia he sent for the rest of the family from pakistan. Not Afghanistan

She was voted in on as a Labor member if she resigns then she and wants to be independent then she should have to be re elected, the people that voted for her voted for Labor not an independent.

Did she get sworn in on oath allegiance to the crown On the bible..or was it allegiance to alla?

The most disturbing aspect here is that West Australian voters elected this woman to an Upper House Senate Seat. Why? On what basis?
