Michele JOHNSON

🌷 Jamnes Danenberg gave a flower I met Michele through her involvement with the Greens in SA and in addition to our politics we shared a mutual appreciation for Breaking Bad (although she wasn't so keen on Better Call Saul). Vale Michele you will be sadly missed.

I will miss Michele in so many ways. I will miss her honesty and sincerity and her love of life. She taught me so many things about courage and strength and her hilarious sense of humour always made me feel so much better about life and its experiences. I will miss you so much Michele but I know your warrior spirit lives on not only with me but wit...more

I met Michele through our mutual friend Mary Christie when Michele lived in Sydney in the early 80s. We were neighbours in Kings Cross for a time.

Michele, beautiful friend, There are so many memories that will live deep within my heart; the sound of your laughter (I can still hear it), the many home-cooked meals we shared, your sense of humour and your eye for op-shop fashion finds, just to name a few.

A brave, generous and funny friend Chele was an online friend from my very first days on Facebook way way back. Even from the other side of the world her outsize personality, warmth and anger at injustice and meanness of spirit were tangible. Chele's lethal sense of humor brightened many a grey UK day for me. I'll miss setting the world to rights w...more

LAUREL FRANK I worked and played with Michele in Melbourne in the 1970's. She was a fearless feminist and a cultural adventurer and threw herself into life and projects at the Pram Factory Theatre in Carlton. We were great friends and we took it up to the Patriarchy, rigging lights, creating projects and fixing stuff. She was a much more experien...more

A Journey Over Too Soon I first met Michele on the set of the quasi-feminist low budget feature film Journey Among Women. She was 23 and I was 13. It was the 1970s and we were both doing our best to be convict women liberated from the despicable strictures of patriarchal colonial society. On the filmset there were a lot of fraught debates, occasion...more

Michele was a committed and respected advocate for her Indigenous clients ...more
