In response to the attacks on Oxfam from leading Australian Jewish organisations for parting ways with Scarlett Johannson over her conflict of interest (promoting Sodastream while being an Oxfam Ambassador) , two letters were published in the Australian Jewish News (14 Feb 2014).
One is from Andrew Casey who has a long association with the Australian union movement, including the ACTU. He is also a member of TULIP, Trade Unions Linking Israel and Palestine. It should be noted that Michael Danby, a member of the Australian Labour Party and Member for Melbourne Ports has slammed Oxfam’s position on Settlement Products and Ms Johannson. He is himself a former union official. It would be interesting to know his response to Andrew Casey’s letter
The second comes from AJDS member Larry Stillman.
