SUMMARY:The Inaugural Dr Adnan Al-Bursh Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with courageous healthcare workers\, brave voices\, and people standing up against oppression. \nProfessor Peter Macdonald is a world-renowned cardiologist. In September 2025\, he was suspended from St Vincents hospital at the urging of the Israel lobby\, after asking a question about the national intelligence agency of the State of Israel. In July 2026\, his lecture at the University of Melbourne was cancelled due to complaints from the Israel lobby. Hundreds of health professionals were denied an opportunity to learn from him. \nWe don’t require cowardly institutions to platform brave voices. Instead\, Prof. Mac has been invited to deliver the inaugural Dr Adnan Al-Bursh Memorial Lecture. Join us to learn about his extraordinary work with Indigenous communities\, alongside his groundbreaking work in heart transplantation and the developments that have shaped this field. \nThe lecture will be followed by a panel discussion about healthcare workers who have the courage to stand up against systems of oppression and the importance of speaking out when it matters most. Our panel will be chaired by Alice Eggleston and the panelists are: Dr. Ruth Mitchell\, Dr. Sarah Abdo and Nick Hanna. With featured speaker: Dr Nada Abu Alrub. \nThe Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh Memorial Lecture is intended to celebrate those who use their knowledge\, expertise and position to advocate for human dignity\, justice and freedom. \nAll proceeds from the evening will be donated to: \n\nPalestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF)\nthe Civil Liberties Defence Centre (founded by Nick Hanna)\nCondoblin Aboriginal Health Service\n\nWe’ve set the pricing modestly to make the event accessible so if you are able to donate to these wonderful organisations\, please do. \nCome along\, hear some brave voices\, meet others who believe. \nSpeakers Biographies\nProfessor Peter Macdonald AM is a world-renowned senior cardiologist specialising in heart transplants.\nProfessor Macdonald and his team pioneered a new method of heart transplantation that allows donor hearts that have stopped beating to be reactivated in a machine for up to 12 hours before transplant. Professor Macdonald is currently working on groundbreaking new research\, to preserve tissue following heart attacks and strokes. For the past 20 years\, Professor Macdonald has been going to Condoblin to volunteer at the Aboriginal Medical Centre\, providing medical services to the local Aboriginal community. \nDr. Ruth Mitchell is a neurosurgeon\, passionate medical educator\, and fierce advocate for global access to safe surgery\, peace\, security and equity. She chairs the board of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War\, and has provided leadership to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (Nobel Peace Prize 2017) since its inception in 2007. She served on a medical mission to Gaza earlier this year with the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association (PANZMA). \nNick Hanna is the principal of Hanna Legal and a co-founder of the Civil Liberties Defence Centre\, a community legal service founded in response to the unprecedented crackdown on political expression during the Gaza genocide. Since October 2023\, he has acted in numerous high-profile cases for Palestine defenders\, including healthcare workers.\nAside from the law\, Nick hosts The What & The Why\, an investigative journalism project exposing the role of the israel lobby in undermining democratic rights in Australia\, and he wrote and directed The Last Sky\, a bold documentary about israel’s attacks on Gaza and Lebanon and the people fighting back\, previously screened by TPAN. \nDr Sarah Abdo is an endocrinologist and Head of Department with extensive experience caring for vulnerable and diverse communities. Her work as a physician is grounded in advocacy\, with a strong commitment to health equity\, human rights and equitable access to healthcare for all communities. \nAlice Eggleston is a  long term union organiser\, branch presdent and workplace delegate for NSW Nurses and Midwives Association. She is currently campainging against AHPRA’s adoption of the IHRA definiton of antisemitism. \nDr Nada Abu Alrub is an Australian humanitarian doctor of Palestinian and Iranian hertitage. Her Australian journey began in Sydney\, where she worked at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for six years. She has dedicated her work to caring for patients and defending their human rights. From war zones in Gaza and Palestinian and Syrian refugee camps in Jordan to rural Australia and Torres Strait Islander medical centres\, her work embodies the heart of medicine: humanity\, dignity and the courage to stand with those who need us most. \nCivil Liberties Defence Centre:\nCLDC is a community legal service dedicated to promoting and protecting Civil and Political Rights\, especially freedom of expression.\nIt was founded in 2026 in response to community concern about the unprecedented curtailing of the civil liberties of people expressing support for human rights in the Middle East. \nCLDC was established to address a critical gap in the legal system by:\nproviding services to people facing legal issues related to Civil and Political Rights who experience barriers in accessing the legal system or where such services are in the public interest\, and advocating for the protection and promotion of Civil and Political Rights in Australia.

SUMMARY:Selective Empathy - The West Through The Gaze Of Gaza
DESCRIPTION:Over three years on the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza and the world has not given the appropriate response to such an inhumane atrocity.\n\n\nThe change in public opinion is surely happening around us\, but ever so slow to make a material impact to end the Genocide and achieve the long due accountability and justice that the Palestinians deserve.\n\n\nWhy is that?!\n\nTo discuss the answer to this question and more\, please join us in this important online conversation with Professor Roberto De Vogli. \nProfessor Roberto is an associate professor of Global Health and Psychology of Power at the University of Padova (Italy). He is the former deputy director of the university’s Human Rights Center. He is the author of the recently published book “Selective Empathy: The West Through The Gaze Of Gaza.” \nProfessor Roberto will be interviewed by Ahmed Alabadla.

SUMMARY:Perth Doctors MAP screening “All That’s Left of You
DESCRIPTION:The Oscar nominated film ‘All That’s Left of You’\, a sweeping historical epic of exile and memory\, will be screened by Perth Doctors Medical Aid for Palestine next Thursday Oct 22 at Camelot Indoor Cinema\, Mosman Park. \nDirected by Cherien Dabis\, and produced by Mark Ruffalo and Javiar Bardem\, the film follows a Palestinian family’s story of hope and courage through the course of almost eighty years of relentless struggle\, from the Nakba of 1948 right up until the present day\, and how this struggle conditions the relationships between the family members. \nDoors open at 5:30 pm for pizza and drinks\, with the film commencing at 6:30 pm. After the film\, humanitarian nurse Amy Curtis will talk about her recent work in Gaza\, as will Hiba El Fara\, a Palestinian lawyer and Vice President of APAN\, whose own family endured a fate similar to the multi-generational chronicle of suffering and steadfastness that the film portrays. All proceeds raised from the screening go towards vital medical and humanitarian aid for those whose lives have been devastated by war. \nPerth Doctors-MAP\, a group of over 130 senior Perth doctors\, have been fundraising and advocating for almost three years. The money that they have raised\, over 900\,000 dollars so far\, has been used to build two schools (which have allowed over 700 children to return to learning)\, and to provide meals\, shelter\, and clean drinking water to thousands of families. They have provided the funds needed for otherwise unaffordable medical surgeries and treatments\, as well as for maternity packs for some of the almost 60\,000 pregnant Palestinian women who receive little or no maternity care. In alliance to these efforts\, they also support a number of Palestinian Medical students through scholarships and grants. \nTickets are on sale now\, and can be purchased at: \nhttps://megatix.com.au/events/perth-doctors-map-screening-of-all-thats-left-of-you \n  \n
