I don’t know how Malinauskas is managing to make this even worse. This is a horrendous comment - the false equivalence here is horrific

Gotta say, the cancellation of Adelaide Writers' Week gives me some hope for Australia's ability to navigate this.

A great loss for the literary community, but writers/thinkers/audiences aren't going to stand for the bullying and pressure.

Unclear when the politicians are going to figure it out.

Big congrats Malinauskus, your legacy.

Boards composed of individuals with little experience in the arts & blind to the moral implications of abandoning the principle of freedom of expression, have been unnerved by the pressure exerted by politicians calculating their electoral prospects & relentless, coordinated letter-writing campaigns

the reluctance for anyone still actively supporting Twitter/X to reconsider about what they're doing remarkable. Would you keep working or giving quotes to a newspaper that was publishing erotica about 11 year old kids? or photos of people that were photoshopped to remove their clothing?

Imagine organising yourself for full visit to the Adelaide Writers' Week and finding yourself in an audience with six other people and a lost Jack Russell terrier while Greg Sheridan is the only presenter they have

You'd crawl over hot corpses to get out
Saints be praised. The #AdelaideWritersFestival still has its two biggest attractions:

Pretty sure if most other people or companies created such a thing, the app would be not only dropped by Apple/Google stores, govts and businesses, but they would also charged by police.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

‘Add blood, forced smile’:

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

If we can’t enjoy a bottle of Cabernet together by the fireplace in an abandoned Victorian mansion under a full moon on a cold winter’s night with the sound of wolves in the distance whilst we wax poetic about our hopes, dreams, and people we want to haunt in the afterlife, then what’s the point?

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.

Just saw this. What utter bullshit. The Israel lobby are devoted to destroying the livelihoods of anyone who does not share their love of genocide.

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.

Denton, Garner, FitzSimons, Dalton, de Krester, Hammer, Lette, Zadie Smith...

It is very much at the point where the lower risk is actually to drop out. That is the mainstream position.

The Festival board (and those who support them) are the extremists.
Final update tonight. Andrew Denton is also out. Have also crossed out Michael Veitch & Tracey Lee Holmes as they were part of Better Off Said, which is out.

Remember the list is a not final. Don't assume those not crossed out are going
