Australia's Voice (AV) is an Australian political party founded in 2024 by independent and former Labor senator Fatima Payman.
She sat with the party until resigning in July 2024 following her crossing the floor on a Senate resolution supporting Australian recognition of Palestinian statehood,[6] and subsequent caucus suspension.
[5][6] At a press conference launching the party, Payman stated that any elected AV MPs would be allowed conscience votes on any bill before parliament.
[11][12] Uluru Dialogue co-chair Megan Davis criticised the name and timing as "extraordinarily insensitive", Uphold and Recognise chair Sean Gordon criticised the name as a "further attempt by the pro-Palestinian movement to leverage off the back of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people", and former Labor Senator Nova Peris stated the name "is breathtakingly disrespectful, and a complete misappropriation of yet another aspect of my people’s story and emblems".
[16] The Registered Officer can overrule any decision made by the executive if it "threaten the integrity, survival or core values of the party".
