Classical pianist Jayson Gillham loses discrimination case against MSO over Gaza comments – video
A classical pianist who sued the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has lost his case after he alleged he was unlawfully discriminated against because of his views on Israeli forces killing Palestinian journalists. Gillham had claimed the MSO’s cancellation of a Melbourne concert he was contracted to perform on 15 August 2024 was an attempt to silence him over his stance on Israel’s attacks in Gaza. Justice Graeme Hill handed judgment down on Friday, finding that the MSO would have taken the same actions had Gillham expressed a political belief in support of Israel.

Fruit and veg from NSW plantations of servitude
"The NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner says there are several thousand absconded PALM workers in Australia, without access to health insurance and formal income. Among them are women with unplanned pregnancies denied antenatal care due to ineligibility for Medicare. A report by the NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner entitled Be Our Guests has identified signs of debt bondage, deceptive recruiting, forced labour and, in extreme cases, servitude, sexual servitude and human trafficking."
