Just to let you know that you’ve spelled Krushil’s last name wrong – it’s Watene. 🙂 (Also, that link to her page isn’t working.)
Thanks. My apologies for the misspelling, which has now been corrected. (I’ve also redirected the link.)
If you want to know more about her work, you can hear Krushil Watene’s address to the AAP, which was broadcast on Australian public radio and the Philosopher’s Zone podcast
