    Thanks for resignation. She stands for some one else
  • @RD-jh7bz
    I wish she's going back to Afghanistan to defend her religion
  • @nev707
    These protesters won’t have come from anywhere near the Middle East. Security should be disciplined.
  • How was she ever elected in the first place. Supposed to represent this country not Palestine
  • She should be kicked out of parliament. She was not elected on a Palestine from river to the sea policy. If she wants to be a Palestinian politician she should go live in Gaza.
  • @p662
    She was dumped by the labour party....
  • @buryitdeep
    All the security for Parliament house must be sacked. What a joke that any ordinary activist can just scale the #1 building in Australia. The government of Australia is the laughing stock of the world now. Set an example Australia.
  • @buryitdeep
    We want Australian politicians for Australians. Activists like her do not belong in the government.
  • @2012Prada
    She does not deserves tax payers money
  • @MegaStooi
    She should resign not leave Labor. Only had 2000 votes.
  • I always believe that these kinds of people are not suitable for any official position. They don't just come here; they bring their personal problems along with them. She will always support her own kind over her country's interests, no matter what She is free to start a party of her own now with only Muslims interests n nothing to do with Australia which has given Afghan refugees a home. Australia does not need wars from other countries brought here.
  • How can she sit in parliament as an independent when she never won a seat as an independent corruption at the highest levels he will never support Australia
  • @p662
    Better go to Palestine parliament....
  • @mosesp9468
    Those who support Palestine or Israel, please go to the country that you adore… and fight for whatever you want! Dont make a mess in here and be coward hiding in here!
