Having killed hundreds of aid workers, Israel is now completely banning 37 aid orgs from entering Gaza, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Oxfam, Caritas, and World Vision. This is an obvious war crime and thousands will die.

It wasn’t about the money
It’s ludicrous and insulting to suggest that the richest university in Australia can’t afford the two part-time wages to run Meanjin.
Also: did they even try to save it? Donation drive? Philanthropic efforts? Offering it to another institution?
No.
The university council shut it down intentionally.

The headlines about it being an illegal march and police wanting to stop it will still deter many people from going.
It makes families with kids afraid to attend.
The NSW anti-protest laws are absolutely undemocratic, and a major step towards autocracy.
