Im humbled to accept the inaugural NSW Council Civil Liberties president’s award for journalism. It’s an honour to be acknowledged for my battle to uphold journalism without fear or favour. It’s been a very difficult year given the bullying & silencing of journalists in Australia
Gaza is the deadliest place to be a journalist. The past 10 months have been the deadliest period to be a journalist. This award is for the Palestinian journalists who no longer have breath, let alone a voice. Foreign journalists are not allowed in either.

Michael Towke 🧵(and things he said that made my heart 💔)
“I would have been the first Australian of Lebanese heritage to be a federal member of Parliament on the Liberal party side that’s a bit of history there that they stole from me”

“Privately the Liberal party was accusing me of owning and operating a number of brothels, being involved in a criminal syndicate, being involved in the Cronulla riots ... The 'dodgy Leb angle' and they ran with it”
