Not one person has lost their job or been forced to apologise for supporting Israel’s genocide.
You can support the mass murder of Muslims & you will never be in danger of losing your job in media or politics or the arts or business or education.
Suggest Israel are wrong, & you will be targeted.

Although there is no place in this country for hate speech, there must be room for people to express their views on politics and world events.

Hi @iandunt.bsky.social I’m a great admirer of your work from Australia. I’m interested if you are still participating in Adelaide Writers Festival after the cancellation of Australian-Palestinian academic Randa Abdel-Fattah? I realise this would be a difficult decision

The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

I’m not going to say this specifically about the Adelaide Writers board because I really don’t know for sure. However Universities to arts institutions there is a trend of appointing people to boards who really don’t care about the thing they are representing.

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.
A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.
