Stella Young

In 2012, the Sydney Morning
Herald named Stella as one of
its '20 most influential women'

Very sad news this morning that Melbourne writer, comedian and activist Stella Young has died unexpectedly at 32.

We have enjoyed and learned from so much of her work, her insight, her willingness to address difficult matters, her wit, her uncompromising integrity, her ability to challenge discrimination wherever she found it - she will be very greatly missed.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues.
