here's an article we wrote for The Conversation:

For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project
The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.

Vance had a big for sale sign on him when billionaire Thiel started to buy his favors. Highly unqualified for the position he is there because that is where they wanted him

They would rather burn it all down than risk someone saying a genocide is, in fact, a genocide.
Importantly, it isn't just local authors who've removed themselves from the program. International authors including Zadie Smith and Percival Everett have also left in protest.
What a farce.
What a farce.

It seems given the mass exodus from the Adelaide Writers Festival the organisers have removed the program and guest lists from their website #freepalestine #auspol

DJ Haram has pulled out of Adelaide Festival so this is now spreading beyond the writers week.

Please don’t tell me that a single letter was behind the Adelaide Festival board’s decision

Richard King has now withdrawn as well. The number is growing by the hour. Adelaide Writers Week is about to become Adelaide Writers Hour, featuring two white women and nobody else.

51 authors have now withdrawn from the apartheid Adelaide Writers Week. I wrote about it here and the long sordid road of racist interference from Zionists in the Australian arts. sakr.substack.com/p/the-road-t...

After Bondi, calls for a Royal Commission appeared overnight, delivered by rotating groups using identical language. That is astroturfing, a PR tactic that simulates grassroots demand to manufacture urgency, crowd out scrutiny, and lock in policy before evidence is tested. More on YT

For the record as I am being asked, I made a personal decision as an author to send this to my friend Louise Adler earlier today. #Adelaidewritersweek

Kathy Lette's out?!
The Adelaide Festival Writers' Week is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired & gone to meet its maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If Malinauskas hadn't nailed it in the press it'd be pushing up the daisies. Its literary processes are now history! It's

I am pretty damn proud to work with @australiainstitute.org.au, with people like @richarddenniss.bsky.social and @amyremeikis.bsky.social and @emmashortis.bsky.social et al. No slinking quietly into the background here - they're making a pretty necessary stand for what's right

Hi @mollyjongfast.bsky.social - there's a fast-moving boycott of the Adelaide Writer's Festival after they dumped a pro-Palestine writer for vague reasons - for your consideration 🙏🏽

A few months ago Chris Philp called me “unhinged” in a Telegraph article about a video I made.
In it I warned about the brutality of ICE, & argued those who appease Trump would open the door to Fascism here too. I was called ‘hysterical’.
I have 0 regrets about that message.

This feels like hate. Why draw false & racist parallels to tragedy at Bondi with work of Palestinian Australian academic & novelist who has already born the brunt of racism-when her research grant was challenged & then at the Bendigo WF? Targeting ethnic others like this is hate mongering. SHAME!

#FascistFluffers and #Genocide supporters.
Imagine, two years on, still being in a letter writing posse demanding that free speech and protest be crushed just for Israel. So many of these writers were probably liberal/progressive and one issue has dragged them into bed with a coalition that refuses to condemn literal Neo Nazis.

Excellent to see the expanding list of writers pulling out of the bigoted Adelaide Writers Festival. Please look out for their work and support them if you can.

Statement: Jewish Council Condemns Adelaide Festival Removal of Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah
January 8, 2026 at 11:55 PM
How far in km's is it from Adelaide to Tel Aviv?
Because that's exactly how far SA Premier, Peter Malinauskas, can fuck off after his support for #AdelaideWritersFestival axing Dr Abdel-Fattah because she "risks others' cultural safety". Disgusting as a person, disgraceful as a politician.

Unfortunately my MP is a Labour one and as we all know they are whipped & sponsored by the Israeli genocide department and completely without any semblance of integrity or accountability to British voters or international law.

Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah is our client and we are proud to represent her. This cancellation is unjustifiable, morally and legally.
Authors withdraw from festival after Palestinian Australian author dropped
After Randa Abdel-Fattah was dropped from Adelaide Writers' Week by the Adelaide Festival Board, a slew of authors, including Michelle de Kretser, have withdrawn from the event.

Someone clever should assemble an online writers’ week starring all the people too principled to attend the Adelaide one. Donations to go directly to the artists.
