I watched SA Premier Peter Malinauskas deliberately refer to Randa Abdel-Fattah as "Miss".
DOCTOR Abdel-Fattah has a BA, LLB, & a PhD.
So, not only does the Malinauskas present as a defamatory racist, he's a misogynist as well.

After the so-called ceasefire, Gaza is still being destroyed, and children are still starving under Israel’s blockade. This is not recovery, it’s continuation.

A great loss for the literary community, but writers/thinkers/audiences aren't going to stand for the bullying and pressure.
