Staff reportedly complained to state librarian John Vallance about the $20,000 painting by the Australian’s Johannes Leak, which can only be viewed by appointment

that Leak’s cartoon in the Australian of Joe Biden calling Kamala Harris a “little brown girl” had caused substantial offence and prejudice, and “undermin[ed] measures to overcome the obstacles facing women, particularly those of colour”.

“Jacinta Price has no relevance to NSW and its history … there’s a lot of people really upset about this,” one staff member told the Guardian. The Price portrait was one of 80 paintings, drawings, watercolours and architectural plans acquired by the library in 2022 at a total cost of $1.7m. The spokesperson would not say who initiated the decision to buy the Leak work.

Who the F are the staff to have an opinion? They’re public SERVANTS. Servants do as they’re told, and shut up as they obey. This is just an attempt to camouflage their vile racist hatred for Senator Price because she’s an Aboriginal woman who doesn’t obey. And we love her for it
