I am torn, deeply torn. On one hand, I have the immense support of the rank-and-file members, unionists, the lifelong the party volunteers, who are calling on me to hang in there and to make change happen internally.

On the other hand, I am pressured to conform to Caucus solidarity and toe the party line.

I see no middle ground and my conscience leaves me no choice.

I watched her speech live. I was taken by how well she spoke and how level headed she was. It’s no wonder the Labor heavies are out flinging shit sounding like a bad amateur theatre production of the Godfather. “She disrespected the family”
