This report provides the final findings of a research project called Dalarinji ��� ���Your Story���. The project worked with First Nations LGBTIQ+ people in NSW to capture their experiences and needs regarding their social, cultural and emotional wellbeing. This report draws upon two sources of information: a small community survey (people aged 14 years and older) and indepth qualitative interviews with Indigenous LGBTIQ+ people aged 14-25 years. The survey and interviews looked at experiences of growing up as First Nations LGBTIQ+ people in New South Wales (NSW). The project was interested in four primary areas including: What their experiences were of being First Nations and LGBTIQ+ for overall wellbeing; how people navigated family and community to maintain their wellbeing; what aspects of their journeys were supportive and respectful; what their experiences of service provision were and what they would recommend changing. The overarching goal was the development of targeted supports and services to effectively support First Nations LGBTIQ+ people.

This report provides the preliminary findings drawing upon indepth qualitative interviews with young Indigenous LGBTIQA+ people (14 - 25 years) and their experiences of growing up Queer across NSW and the eastern seaboard. Over a period of 12 months (September 2019 - September 2020) 16 young Indigenous people who self-identified as LGBTIQA+ were interviewed across four primary areas including: What it means to be young, Indigenous, LGBTIQA+ for their emotional and social wellbeing;how they navigated family and community to maintain social and emotional wellbeing; what aspects of their journey's were supportive and respectful; and finally, what areas would they recommend for improvement to increase social and emotional wellbeing and the transition to young adulthood. The primary objective of this project is to better understand how the interstice of Indigenous, LBGTIQ and youth impacts upon their social and emotional wellbeing to enable the development of tailored supports and services to effectively support young Indigenous LGBTIQA+ people. The interviews are Phase 1 of the NSW component of the national study funded. This work was supported by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) under its Targeted Call 2018 Indigenous Social and Emotional Wellbeing funding round (Grant ID: 1157377).

Freedom of speech as an important human right is diminished when speaking out for Palestinian rights. The paper examines this assertion through three case examples from Australia. These are academic freedom, media freedom and freedom of political representation and expression. To provide context to the free speech debates, an overview is presented of the confl ict as well as an outline of the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions campaign. Wolność słowa jako ważne prawo człowieka zostaje ograniczona, gdy przemawia się za prawami Palestyńczyków. W artykule przeanalizowano powyższe twierdzenie na podstawie trzech przykładów przypadków z Australii. Są to: wolność akademicka, wolność mediów oraz wolność reprezentacji politycznej i wypowiedzi. W celu zapewnienia kontekstu debatom na temat wolności słowa przedstawiono przegląd konfl iktu, a także zarys bojkotu oraz kampanii sankcji.
