The State Library of Queensland has suspended its national Indigenous fellowships and withdrawn the award to one of this year’s recipients over a social media post about Gaza.
The First Nations writer Karen Wyld, who now writes under the name K A Ren Wyld, was stripped of her Creative Australia-funded $15,000 black&write! fellowship, less than five hours before it was to have been awarded to her, over comments she made on social media in October about the conflict in Gaza.
