A few weeks have now passed since QLD took away my Fellowship, and what I am still sure of:
I did nothing wrong. I've nothing to be ashamed of. I've no regrets.
The shame is in staying silent, letting fear win, allowing bullies to silence us.
From the river to the sea,
Always was always will be.

Also, the Myths and Rainbow-washing section is very helpful if you need quick pointers on debunking/refuting zionist talking points.

"Unlike the women and girls of Gaza, I’m not brave. Fear is a formidable and insidious opponent. It convinces us to censor ourselves, to obey in advance, to down the Kool-Aid before it’s been offered. I’m still afraid. But I’ve just accepted a prize that is not about obedience."

Is the Oz going to go after large swathes of the Australian writing community?Some of us were in Melbourne with the admirably principled Aviva Tuffield last week. To be absolutely clear, we are opposed to the actions of the Israeli govt in Gaza.
