Bill Leak was a proud member of the Institute of Public Affairs, and as Bill’s widow Goong Phitnak recently shared in our Annual Report for 2020:
‘The support of the IPA meant a lot to Bill, he used to tell me that he could fight for his freedom of speech against the Australian Human Rights Commission because he had the IPA behind him.
I know that helping Bill wasn’t just a job to John and the team at the IPA – it is a mission they deeply believe in. Bill was so proud to have the IPA and its members supporting him.’
Follow on Bill Leak’s footsteps by becoming an IPA Member.
Your IPA Membership pack will be sent within the next week. Your copy of Die Laughing: The Biography of Bill Leak will be separately from Australian Scholarly Publishing and you will receive an email notification from Australia Post once the book is on its way to you.
