Remembering today my Uni lecturer, Dorthy Jones, whose memorial service was held yesterday. Brilliant woman, generous friend, trailblazer, champion of women in literature and academe. Author, mentor, you could not but be touched by her warmth and enquiring mind. There should be more like her.

This morning on ABC Local Radio Sydney, Hamish McDonald was discussing the apparently different reactions of the premier to the proposed Bridge march by pro-Palestinian groups. When he asked for people to ring in the first two callers were clearly Zionist lobby. Very well prepared men
