Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles has been criticized by Labor MP Ed Husic, who described Marles as a "factional assassin" following a recent cabinet reshuffle. Husic, a member of the New South Wales Right faction, was removed from the cabinet to accommodate members of the Victorian Right faction, led by Marles. This factional maneuvering has drawn attention to internal divisions within the Labor Party, challenging the notions of unity, stability, and compassion promoted by the party leadership under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his deputy Marles. The cabinet changes have been characterized as a factional coup, with Husic expressing disappointment that the public expects a statesman rather than factional infighting from the deputy prime minister.
