It’s incredibly disturbing that so many Australian institutions and leaders can reproduce vicious assertions without evidence about the link between Palestinian rights campaigns and the Bondi killings, then use these assertions to ban people from public discourse.

Re: "submissions" it is important to know that under the banner of an organisation they may be counted as "one". Not always, but I've seen this many times.
To be counted and make a difference, it's important to make them independently... under your own deets.
