Saturday 13th, July, 2024: Emily Foley Associate Lecturer & PhD Candidate, ‘ ALP caucus solidarity’; What does it means?

Macca and Fiona talk to Emily Foley Associate Lecturer & PhD Candidate, ‘ ALP caucus solidarity’; What does it means?

The machinations of the Australian Labor Party machine are back in the spotlight this week, with Western Australian Senator Fatima Payman crossing the floor to support a Greens-backed motion calling for the Australian Senate to “recognise the State of Palestine”.

In crossing the floor, Payman breached the concept of caucus solidarity. She has been indefinitely suspended from the Labor Party caucus as a result.

Before the formation of the federation and the federal parliamentary Australian Labor Party, caucus solidarity had already taken root. In 1891, the first NSW Labor caucus meeting made a significant decision: MPs would pledge to abide by the majority decision and vote as a unified caucus.
