Anthony Albanese has raised his concerns about Australia entering a “faithbased” system of politics.

After snapping back at reporters for asking too many questions at a press conference this morning, Albanese asserted that parties based on religion undermines “social cohesion”.

He gave the quotes in response to being asked about the Muslim Vote political movement, which has claimed it will support several independent candidates in Syndey at the next federal election.

It also comes after yesterday’s resignation of Senator Fatima Payman from the Labor party, who was the first Muslim woman to wear a hijab in parliament.
