Newly independent Senator Fatima Payman is currently travelling through regional Western Australia on a 'listening tour' to meet with voters and hear their concerns.

The Last Place on Earth sat down with Senator Payman last week in the Pilbara town of Karratha, where she spoke about:

• Feeling constrained in the Labor party
• Meeting with angry students from the Curtin Uni pro-Palestine encampment
• Labor's Future Gas Strategy
• How genocide in Gaza will shape the next Australian federal election
• What she's hearing from voters in the regions
