Cut out from group chats, removed from meetings and exiled by her colleagues: that’s what WA Labor Senator Fatima Payman says has been happening to her, a week after she crossed the floor to vote for a Senate motion to recognise a Palestinian state.

Plus, would you ditch your current job to move to a tropical island? Trade in the laptop and meetings for a bar gig and fresh coconuts? Some young Aussies are doing it, and they reckon anyone dreaming about it should give it a go too.
