State Library Victoria

Gabrielle DE VIETRI (Richmond) (09:42): I move, by leave:

That this house:

(1) notes that the State Library has terminated the contracts of four writers who have spoken in support of Palestine;

(2) expects our public institutions to hold high ethical and transparency standards and deems political censorship indefensible; and

(3) requires the library to publicly and fully account for its decision.

Leave refused.
