Why
Join us for an evening with courageous healthcare workers, brave voices, and people standing up against oppression.
Tickets available from Trybooking.
Professor 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.
We 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.
The 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 panellists are: Dr. Ruth Mitchell, Dr. Sarah Abdo and Nick Hanna.
The 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.
All proceeds from the evening will be donated to:
- Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF)
- the Civil Liberties Defence Centre (founded by Nick Hanna)
- Condoblin Aboriginal Health Service
We've set the pricing modestly to make the event accessible so if you are able to donate to these wonderful organisations, please do.
Come along, hear some brave voices, meet others who believe.
