valid emotional response rather than as a disease ... I am not ashamed of my brother, and I do not see death as tragic – deliberate ignorance and fear are tragedies, not death." Film Gambotto-Burke was commissioned to write the core love stories of artist David Bromley's series of films, I Could Be Me (narrated by Hugo Weaving), which premiered at the Adelaide Festival in 2008. In an essay, she noted that, "As scripts are founded on what Alan Alda calls the 'subsurface tectonics of emotion', the result can sometimes be a psychic slam dunk." Director Bromley described the film as "like a kaleidoscope of images and it is run by my poetry and short stories by Antonella. And it has a large animation component." Motherhood Gambotto-Burke dedicated her first book about parenthood, Mama: Love, Motherhood and Revolution (2015) to her daughter Bethesda, who was born in December 2005. The foreword was written by the French obstetrician and academic Michel Odent."Women risk losing ability to give birth naturally" by Rozina Sabur, The Daily Telegraph, 24 May 2015 Gambotto-Burke is a vocal advocate of increased intimacy with children and practised co-sleeping. Controversially, she also home-schools her daughter. In a Life Matters interview with Natasha Mitchell, Dr. John Irvine described Mama as being to motherhood what The Female Eunuch was to feminism. "The association of maternal-infant separation with developmental havoc is not new, and yet despite the evidence, little change has been made to the way mothers and babies are treated, both by hospitals and by society at large", Gambotto-Burke writes. An excerpt of Mama: Love, Motherhood and Revolution was printed in The Guardian newspaper. In 2020, she announced that she was working on the sequel, Apple: Sex, Drugs, Motherhood and the Recovery of the Feminine. Recent work Gambotto-Burke has in recent years changed her journalistic focus. Her writing about human trafficking has been syndicated around the world. She is also a widely published literary critic and essayist, and has written a number of lead news stories for The Australians business pages about lawyers and legal issues."Business demands fixed fees as revolt builds against billable hours" by Antonella Gambotto-Burke, The Australian, 20 August 2010"Corporates taken to the cleaners with billing abuses" by Antonella Gambotto-Burke, The Australian, 27 August 2010 Most recently, Gambotto-Burke's focus has been on pornography and gender inequality."Gender wars heat up with Butterfly Politics by Catharine A.
