Albo Let the Camel in the Tent

The Australian Labor government is learning the hard way that you let the camel into your tent at your peril: the bastard keeps spitting on you and you end up with fleas.

But Labor has been so determined to curry the Muslim vote, especially in its Western Sydney heartland, that it threw caution to the wind. Labor in 2022 elected a record number of Muslim MPs, far exceeding the Muslim percentage of the population. More crucially, a raft of senior MPs and ministers have seats in Muslim-heavy Sydney suburbs.

These brutal facts go a long way to explaining the shocking weakness and duplicity of Anthony Albanese and his government in the face the sickening wave of anti-Semitism since October 7. Albanese’s spinelessness is culminating in the internal crisis brought on by Muslim neophyte senator, Fatima Payman. For 120 years, Labor has had one iron rule: break ranks and you’re out. Any MP crossing the floor has always faced immediate expulsion.

Should they dump on the party and quit, they earn the undying hatred of their erstwhile colleagues.

Unless, as we now see, they’re Muslim.

Payman, who was elected on a party ticket with less than 1200 votes, has made herself the centre of national attention with her stridently anti-Israel stance. The culmination was first crossing the floor to vote with the Greens on ‘Palestinian’ recognition, effectively rewarding Hamas for October 7, then quitting the party altogether.

Instead of the summary execution dealt out to former ‘rats’, Payman has been cossetted and indulged to a ludicrous degree. Hugs in the chamber from Tanya Plibersek, phone calls and text messages from Katy Gallagher and Penny Wong (the same “Labor Mean Girls” who allegedly bullied Kimberley Kitching to an early grave) and wittering speeches about ‘kindness’ from old Labor crony and incoming governor-general Sam Mostyn.

Despite all that, though, Payman is carrying on with a typically glass-jawed Islamic pity party. Wah, wah, everyone’s being mean to me. I’m being bullied. I’m young, female and Muslim, you can’t speak mean to me.

Spare me.

And so she’s wept all the way to the crossbench. Having used the Labor brand to get into the parliamentary, Payman is spitting all over her benefactors.

Especially when, as it appears, this was all a long-term strategy from the Muslim senator.

The young senator had determined on a course of action then executed it with skill and steely resolve […]

Payman’s lack of responsiveness, her failure to reveal her intentions on the motion and the secrecy surrounding her appearance on the top-rating political talk show, fed Labor’s suspicions it had all been carefully pre-planned with outside help.

Those suspicions were confirmed by news she had been consulting the so-called preference whisperer Glenn Druery, who has been in contact with Muslim groups planning to run candidates against Labor MPs.

Those “Muslim groups” include shadowy operations like Muslim Vote. Very little is known about this group: its website, apart from links soliciting donations and volunteers, says little about who is behind it. It’s not registered with ASIC. What is known is that its website is a near-clone of a British group of the same name, whose organisers include a former UK leader of proscribed terror group Hizb ut-Tahrir. In Australia, it is also associated with an Islamic preacher who cheered that he was “elated” by October 7.

Labor is in panic at the the prospect of being “Tealed” – a repeat of 2022, where so-called “independents”, backed by a Climate Cultist nepo baby billionaire, cost the Coalition six vital seats in its former heartland. The Teals pared away the Liberals’ formerly-rusted-on “Doctor’s Wives” set with their appeal to Climate Cultism. The Muslim Vote is threatening to do the same with Labor’s formerly-rusted-on voters in Western Sydney by appealing to Muslim hatred of Israel.

Senior Labor figures believe the danger from independent Muslim candidates, combined with support from the Greens, could unseat at least six Labor MPs and ministers in suburban Melbourne and Sydney depending on preference flows.

Expectation of the creation of a Muslim, pro-Palestinian party or a swath of independents jumped after the Prime Minister flagged in parliament that the suspended Senator Payman would resign in “coming days” and reveal the strategy behind the month-long rebellion by the 29-year-old Muslim WA senator […]

Professional electoral and preference adviser Glenn Druery confirmed on Tuesday that he was talking to Senator Payman, but did not respond to questions over how long he had been in discussions with her. Mr Druery is also known as the “preference whisperer” for his history of helping minor parties at elections.

Well, Labor, you invited the camel into the tent. Enjoy the fleas.
