Former cabinet minister Ed Husic has promised to target his deputy leader in an explosive interview on Sunday, even though he targeted his deputy leader.
He told The Guardian Australia, "I want to play a constructive role."
But he added that he would speak out on “important” issues and no longer be bound by cabinet solidarity, a principle that all ministers support their collective decisions.
Husic poured out of the cabinet on Thursday, blaming the Deputy Minister and Right fact heavyweight Richard Marles, who was accused of being a "factual assassin."
On Sunday morning, he told ABC insiders plans that he believes his role in public criticizing Israel was a factor in his removal from the cabinet.
On Sunday afternoon, he said he would continue to speak out.
"I won't talk about everything, but I will talk about important things, what the community and the country cares about," he said.
"The intense debate took place in some of the most successful long-term labor governments. They were thriving in that environment at the time and we can now."
Husic accused Marles of being a "factual assassin" and said the prime minister should intervene to save him.
"The difficult problem here is that we have exposed our ambitions and the Deputy Prime Minister (who) wields a faction club to reshape the ministry," he told an ABC insider.
“I think when people look at the deputy prime minister, they want to see a politician, not a factional assassin.”
Mars, Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, or anyone else in the cabinet did not publicly respond to Husic's comments on Sunday.
Husic and former Attorney General Mark Dreyfus were abandoned by the right faction.
The cabinet oversubscribed with members of the right in NSW, a faction that forced Husic to eliminate, despite saying he had volunteered, rather than fighting his ministerial colleagues in a national vote.
In Victoria, Dreyfus was moved away to get young and newer MPs into the ministry.

Albanese has an experienced and mature cabinet, with many of its members serving as part of Gillard and Rudd’s government departments between 2010 and 2013, including Chris Bowen, Mark Butler, Penny Wong, Penny Wong, Tanya Plibersek and Julie Collins.
Prior to the election, nine of the 23 cabinet ministers (or nine of the 22 after Bill Shorten's resignation) had never participated in Rudd or Gillard's ministries before.
During the campaign, Albanese said some of his top ministers would remain in his portfolio – including Richard Mars, Jim Chalmers, Katie Gallagher, Penny Wang and Don Farrell.
The new minister is expected to receive a call on Sunday afternoon and it is understood that Albanese will announce a new department on Monday before they will be sworn in at the government building on Tuesday.
NSW MP Michelle Rowland, a former senior lawyer, has been referred to the Attorney General to replace Dreyfus. Murray Watt, secretary of labor relations and attorney, was also mentioned as the possibility of the position.
Western Australian MP Anne Aly may join the cabinet, with the Western State a key part of Labor's victory in 2022 lobbying for an additional position.
Senior Ministers Mark Butler and Jason Clare may move to a new portfolio, and Daniel Mulino, a new Victorian player and Yale-educated economist who can fill the Assistant Treasury position.
Some people also speculate that Pribesek will move from the Ministry of Environment.
