Amnesty International Australia is facing internal turmoil, with an upcoming meeting to vote on removing former Labor MP Belinda Neal from the national board and readmitting anti-Chinese Communist Party advocate Drew Pavlou. Neal’s potential removal, just over a year into her term, is related to her recent election to Central Coast Council which may conflict with the organization’s constitution. Pavlou, who has been expelled and readmitted multiple times, is currently facing expulsion again for posts deemed “discriminatory, aggressive and homophobic” by Amnesty International management.
