So more people resigned than needed to vote on the proposal? Wot? Who the fuck proposed this thing and why won't anyone own it?

Pretty certain someone voted to ban Randa Abdel-Fattah and has since resigned over the enormity of it all ...
Would very much like to know who that was. #auspol

This the blueprint for our arts sector in Australia now? Nameless forces destroying festivals.
And what about our universities? And schools? Visa applicants? They gonna get defunded and re-educated and denied entry by people who won't even put their name to it?
@fixatedpersonsunit the message is very clear: invite anyone with an anti-Israel background to your event and the Zionists will destroy you.
