Fatima Payman decision expected as caucus colleagues express ...

Labor Senator Fatima Payman is expected to make a major announcement about her political future today as her caucus colleagues expressed concern about her claims she was being guided by "God".

On Monday, the West Australian senator said she had been "exiled" by her colleagues and would reflect on "the best way to represent the people of Western Australia", opening the door to a party exit.

The political crisis for Labor was sparked by Senator Payman's move to cross the floor and vote with a Greens motion to recognise Palestine.

When asked by several colleagues about her view on the amendment being moved by fellow Labor senator Penny Wong about the need for a two-state solution, she said it was "absolutely in God's hands".

Late on Wednesday, the government put a motion forward in the House recognising Palestine as part of a two-state solution. 

The Greens and the Coalition voted against the motion.

One MP told the ABC they were alarmed that the senator was distancing herself from the decision and assigning it to a higher order.

Labor sources said Senator Payman had never raised any complaints with the prime minister and had never requested a meeting or called him.

In parliament yesterday, Anthony Albanese suggested Senator Payman's "strategy" had been in train for more than a month.

"Senator Payman, of course, has made a decision to place herself outside the Labor party, that is a decision that she made" Mr Albanese said.

"I expect further announcements in the coming days. Which will explain exactly what the strategy has been over now more than a month."

Taking a question from Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley on Senator Payman's claims she has been intimidated, Mr Albanese again criticised the Coalition for hypocrisy.

"It comes straight after leader of the opposition [Peter Dutton] last week was criticising us for the fact that we had taken a great deal of care to give consideration to Senator Payman," he said.

Glenn Druery, a political operative nicknamed "the preference whisperer" for his history of helping minor parties achieve political success, told the ABC he had had "informal conversations in recent days with Senator Payman".

Mr Druery also said he had had "informal conversations with the Muslim community" about election strategies.
