A Labor member of parliament has accused the party of becoming increasingly 'authoritarian' and succumbing to 'stale groupthink' following heated exchanges over the handling of a recent pro-Palestine protest on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Anthony D'Adam, who participated in the demonstration alongside other state Labor members, said he faced 'bullying behaviour' and calls to resign after criticising Premier Chris Minns' opposition to the protest during a caucus meeting. The premier responded by describing the discussions as 'robust', stating that strong points often invite strong responses among colleagues, and noted that the debate was only cut short due to time constraints. Other Labor members have also voiced concerns that the premier's stance on protests contradicts the party's foundational values of collective action. The issue has highlighted divisions within the party, especially as federal leaders have yet to formally recognise Palestinian statehood, despite international moves and the party's own platform supporting a two-state solution.
