From the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s (CAM) smear campaign against Gaza protesters to St Vincent’s Hospital’s suspension of cardiologist Peter Macdonald for daring to question Israeli influence, Wendy uncovers how “antisemitism” accusations silence dissent. She probes the cancellation of a Royal Children’s Hospital panel on children in war, revealing institutional fear over Gaza discussions. With relentless reporting on “dark money” targeting Greens and Teals, Wendy ties pro-Israel and fossil fuel lobbies to election interference. Reflecting on her decades battling corruption—from environmental activism to ignored Palestinian pleas in Albanese’s electorate—she defines public interest journalism and offers hard-won advice for young reporters.
