Former Cabinet Minister Ed Husic Assigns Blame to ‘Factional Assassin’ Richard Marles | Australian Political Affairs

Ed Husic has accused Richard Marles of being a “factional assassin” for his ousting from the cabinet. Husic believes that speaking out on issues like Gaza was a factor in his departure and says the prime minister should have intervened. He also stated that the choice to leave the frontbench was his decision and that he made it in the interests of stability. Husic, the first Muslim to sit in the cabinet, has been outspoken on the war in Gaza and has accused Israel of “collective punishment”. He plans to remain in the Labor party and hopes to return to the frontbench in the future.
