Kitchener-Waters expressed his anticipation for performing a song dedicated to his niece, crafted in their native language, during an event that he felt had historically overlooked Aboriginal languages.
“The messages that really struck me included ‘No pride in genocide’ and ‘Free Gaza.’ They particularly highlighted the term ‘genocide,’ which they deemed too political,” he remarked.
At a rally held outside the New South Wales Parliament, Kitchener-Waters showcased his guitar, adorned with phrases like “No Pride in Genocide.”
Kitchener-Waters explained that his advocacy for Palestine is rooted in a sense of shared struggle and communal endurance among different lands and peoples.
Approximately 50 supporters, including Greens MP Sue Huggins, assembled outside Parliament to protest against what they saw as censorship and to champion Kitchener-Waters’ right to express his political views.
“What happened to him is a gross injustice,” Huggins said.
“I’m calling on the New South Wales Premier to ensure Jayden’s employment is in no way threatened, and for an apology to be offered to him.”
Kitchener-Waters is currently suspended from his role at the NSW Aboriginal Languages Trust.
