Senior Labor politicians have rejected suggestions that suspended Senator Fatima Payman has been intimidated by her party colleagues.
Senator Payman described being isolated by the Labor Party and colleagues after being suspended from caucus for crossing the floor.
The suspension was initially only for a week, but is now an indefinite suspension after Ms Payman said she would cross the floor again to vote in favour of any future pro-Palestinian motions.
Health Minister Mark Butler doesn't believe Senator Payman has been intimidated.
"We'd like to see Senator Payman return to the Labor fold, but in order to do so she's got to respect other members of the team and commit to accepting collective decisions of that team."

Live sheep exports will be banned from 2028, angering farmers who say their livelihoods will be ruined.
Last-minute lobbying by West Australian farmers and business owners was not enough to have the legislation blocked, with the bill passing the Senate.

The Greens say Australians should be able to access major sporting events for free, even if they access the content online.
Australian laws require major sporting events like the Olympics, State of Origin, and the AFL and NRL grand finals to be shown on free to air television and will be debated in the Senate tomorrow.
Currently, the legislation only requires major events to be available for free on television but Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says the laws need to apply to online content as well.

Mass egg shortages have forced McDonald's to change its breakfast hours as farmers across the country battle to stop the spread of bird flu.
Breakfast offerings will now end at 10.30 in the morning instead of midday.
The temporary change comes as eight farms in Victoria, two in New South Wales and one in the Australian Capital Territory have been forced to close in a bid to stop the spread of avian flu.
