Aboriginal children's book pulled over illustrator's Bondi attack comments

"The pulping of Bila sets a precedent that any book that is more political, more urgent or more sensitive can be victim to censorship, cancellation and more."

"UQP's handling of Money's book was of extreme disappointment to her, and she would rescind all her remaining contracts with the publisher."

— Evelyn Araluen , Activist

"Her upcoming book, Discipline, would be her 'first and last book with UQP'."

— Randa Abdel-Fattah , Activist

"called the move an 'egregious decision'."

— Matt Chun , Academic
