Outspoken senator Fatima Payman comes under scathing attack over the issue close to her heart that she’s NOT posting angry TikToks about

Independent Senator Fatima Payman has been accused of campaigning fiercely against the war in Gaza while remaining silent about the Taliban’s rule over her home country of Afghanistan.

Senator Payman, who represents Western Australia, left the Labor Party in July and joined the independent party due to irreconcilable differences with the party over the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

She was furious with the Albanian government for not publicly condemning Israel for its ongoing attacks on Gaza and has since continued her campaign against the violence through her own social media.

But on Thursday, outspoken political activist Drew Pavlou shared one of the senator’s latest videos about the war in Gaza.

He wrote: ‘Australian Senator Fatima Payman is originally from Afghanistan.

‘She didn’t make a statement last month when the Taliban banned the sound of women’s voices in public and imposed a full gender apartheid regime. But she is furious about attacks on Hezbollah.

‘Foreign.’

Last month, it was widely reported in the news that the Taliban banned women from singing, reciting poetry or reading in public, because their voices were considered an “intimate” part of the body.

Ms. Payman has not posted a video on Instagram or TikTok recently about the Taliban’s ongoing oppression of women, as she often does about the war in Gaza.

She previously said her family were refugees who fled from Taliban-occupied Afghanistan to Pakistan. They joined other relatives in Perth when she was about eight years old, in 2003.

According to Hansard, she has repeatedly raised concerns in Parliament about the Taliban’s ongoing oppression of women.

Last November, she gave a speech in the Senate about gender-based violence.

‘In Afghanistan, my native country, girls are denied education, which is against Islamic and international law and customs.

‘Cruel, ruthless and indiscriminate violence against women and children continues in Gaza, which is contrary to human values.

“Our duty extends beyond borders, transcends political divisions and calls for a united front against the injustices suffered by all women around the world. I call on the Taliban in Afghanistan to provide girls with access to education.”

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms Payman for comment on Mr Pavlou’s criticism.

Senator Payman left the Labor Party “with a heavy heart and a clear conscience”, she said in July.

“My family did not flee a war-torn country to come here as refugees so that I would remain silent when I saw atrocities being inflicted on innocent people.”
