The Egg, a cricket trophy awarded to the winners of Overland vs Meanjin matches, alongside a copy of Jim Davidson's Emperor in Lilliput, the book about magazine founding editors Clem Christesen and Stephen Murray-Smith.

I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles.

Gideon Levy: “Are you sure that Israel has the moral right to prevent such a mission from reaching Gaza? We should salute the 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg, who are attempting to reach Gaza on the Freedom Flotilla aid ship. “It's an act of conscience, an act of courage.”

IT IS OF GREAT MORAL URGENCY THAT WE SEND THE SPIRIT OF TASMANIA TO GAZA

It's one of my absolute favorite books ♥️
