Well there you go. Bendigo Writers Festival has been absolutely played, forced to do the dirty work of lobbyists by their sponsor. When these threats come knocking, academic institutions should be doing everything to protect and defend this country’s cultural events, not become Israel’s enforcer.

It baffles me that @australianlabor.bsky.social wants to hang this failed, unfair policy around its neck, when they could condemn it as a folly of the unpopular Morrison government and ditch it. Sign our petition to urge them to abolish it now!

I am often accused of being too emotional when reporting on politics - but I would rather have a human emotional response than pretend this is just 'reshaping US policy in the Middle East'. It's ethnic cleansing and the end of the rule of law. And the Australian government has said nothing
If the Aust Govt does not denounce this immediately, we are complicit in approving ethnic cleansing of a historic level

"this is not an oligarchy we are facing. It’s a plutocracy.
The difference is money. An oligarchy is a small group of people who have amassed power, while a plutocracy is a small group of wealthy people who have amassed power."
