You know the tide has turned when it’s safer to not be part of something, than to stick with it.

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 🙏🏽 www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Wonder if anyone is getting in touch with Pulp to let them know what’s going on with the Adelaide Festival

💥ICYMI: HOPE not hate can reveal that the neo-Nazi group White Vanguard has suffered a major split. A series of calamitous errors has cost the group half its membership, forced a change in leadership and left its future uncertain.

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

If speaking out against a genocide, or supporting Palestinian people's human rights is viewed as "culturally insensitive", I'm sorry (!) When did genocide become a key element of someone's culture? #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine #AdelaideWritersFestival #auspol

Israel is murdering Palestinian children again, as they do every single day. There is no ceasefire, just brutal apartheid and genocide. Take Action. Free Palestine.

So Musk is now selling CSAM for profit.

Always worth remembering that Rupert Murdoch will die having been the most malignant force in the world of the past 80 years. One of the few of whom you can say the world would be better had he never been born.

Heartiest congratulations to: Tracey Whiting (Chair); Alison Beare; Leesa Chesser; Cr Mary Couros; Brenton Cox; Nicholas Linke OAM; Daniela Ritorto; Donny Walford & Dr Jennifer Fuller (Government Observer) on enuring 'Mushrooms, Money, Murder and Marriage' is the smash-hit of the festival.

Please read our important post on the upcoming Adelaide Writer’s Week after their cancellation of speaker Randa Abdul-Fattah. Next week, we start our boycott of the Festival’s sponsors if nothing changes. Are you in? #ToYourBrooms

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. #Auspol

New analysis from me on the Royal Commission, the campaign behind it, and what it is set up to achieve: www.lamestream.com.au/this-royal-c...

Fallujah didn’t deserve it either

This is awful.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

I ain’t no big city lawyer, but this seems defo as all hell.

Hey Victorians! If you're in an area with Catastrophic fire conditions for tomorrow, and you can leave to somewhere safer. GO. Do not wait. Tomorrow will be a nightmare. Install the Vic emergency app. Turn on your watch area. Call family & friends. Plan, and act quickly. Save lives.

Albanese is a pathetic, weak man, more concerned with optics and being right than following the law. Absolute capitulation to those who wish to hang Bondi around the necks of people who are just asking for kids to not be bombed. #auspol

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

Crazy how the US has got ICE just executing people in the streets, bombing foreign countries and kidnapping their leaders and wife and Albo is just gonna send them $400 billion for funzies

Make it viral.

Zadie Smith is going to have to make a call

You can contact the Adelaide Festival here to express your opinion about their decision to ban Randa Abdel-Fattah. Please refrain from abuse.

If you're going to do it, this is a good appointment www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

2/ It's barely worth noting b/c it's standard, but none of the nine, sensitive Board members are writers or artists. www.adelaidefestival.com.au/about/our-team

'Cultural sensitivities' is doing a lot of work here. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.

Fair enuff, I reckon.

I am extremely lucky to work with good people like Amy.

It's going to be an excellent 2026 🥳

Randa Abdel-Fattah uninvited from Adelaide Writers’ Week, because of Bondi, even though they "do not suggest in any way that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah’s or her writings have any connection with the tragedy at Bondi." She just can't come anymore. Because Bondi. www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

Another stunning victory for #SocialCohesion

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Australian ABC morning radio bulletins led with the claim that a driver was shot after trying to run over an ICE agent. After a year of such claims being proven to be lies, it's galling we still hear them presented as the leading statement without even a nod to this history of lies.

Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society. It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

Australian Media know a Royal Commission hasn’t been announced - and won’t be as there is a criminal trial yet to occur. Frydenberg et al are more interested in who will run a yet-to-be-announced than the integrity of the actual criminal trial of the surviving shooter? Remember that. #auspol

I’m not joking when I say we are being run by foreign interference 🇮🇱

This story is so fucking serious but I need more info about the car crushing T-Rex and snowbound sauropod…

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.
