Distinguished epidemiologist Prof Fiona Stanley said she was “deeply sad” and “ashamed” after the Fremantle hospital that bears her name abruptly cancelled a 2024 event featuring Palestinian Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza, and even thought about telling the institution to remove her name.

Mustafa noted that five days earlier, Royal Perth hospital had hosted a talk by an Israeli surgeon, who spoke about the 7 October Hamas attacks as a mass casualty event and received significant sympathetic media coverage.

“I am working as a doctor within [this system], and I’m not allowed to talk because they said it was too political,” Mustafa said. “There is a huge disparity here.”

What a surprise, yet again the powerful are handed the larger megaphone. I know its different hospital etc, bit lets see Royal Perth step up and take on this lecture as well then.

This 'executive' needs to be named and their decision makong process investigated with any violations of personal rights, or against hospital policy being punished to the correct level.

This procedural protection racket for the powerful can't go on. It undermines the public licence these institutions have.
