We are thrilled that Dr Amy Thunig is coming to talk to members and guests on 16 February 2023. Dr Thunig is a Gomeroi/Gamilaroi/Kamilaroi yinarr woman and mother who resides on Awabakal Country. Her recent book, 'Tell Me Again' is a compelling read.

While her childhood was marked by poverty and hardship, the enduring love and support from her family is part of her story too.

Fabulous to have @sammostyn address our 2022 Annual Luncheon yesterday where she spent time talking with our student guests.
The changes we need to make are for you, she said. This is why we do the work, to build a world that is equal and fair, and that work is not done yet.

[Jessie Street National Women's Library @WomensLibraryAu]

She would have loved it - and all the work you are doing @sammostyn! #belikejessie

Reckon Jessie Street would heartily approve of the way ⁦@BathurstCouncil⁩ recognises the history of this first inland colonial town. Peace, feminism, and recognition of the Aboriginal owners of this land are all celebrated, and history owned. #JessieStreet

Following @TamePunk’s lead, we’re asking all witches to stop calling any LNP politician or terrible journo by their surname, or by both names.

They exhibit contempt for us repeatedly, so we’ll return the favour by only using first names where possible.

Who’s in?
