Imagine you were about to appear at a writers' festival to talk about your first book... then the whole thing fell apart. I wanted to find debut authors who almost talked at Adelaide Writers' Week. These are 21 folks I've identified so far but *please* let me know who I've missed or mixed up.

"Malinauskus was regularly agitating for Abdel-Fattah’s cancellation... Eventually, the board relented. They had seen what had happened at Bendigo, and they did it anyway." New: On the background to the Adelaide Writers' Week debacle, and the involvement of Premier Malinauskas.

The Adelaide Festival should just fill any gaps in its programme with Kevin Rudd reading out his 67 page resignation letter as US Ambassador in Mandarin.

In 2024 you all combined to write and complain about the NACC's Robodebt non-investigation Over 1000 people complained It's time to make yourself heard again Take 30 secs or 30 mins to write to the Adelaide Festival board about their actions Voice your complaint Be heard Share this far & wide

"It's not unprecedented for the U.S. to be involved in some kind of leadership chain in Latin America, but the way this is happening and the language that Trump is using is totally unprecedented." @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on the danger signs in Trump’s Venezuela rhetoric.

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

“God damn them all.”

How the opioid epidemic (pushed by big pharma in high-cancer areas, especially Appalachia), resulted in major opioid death and economic hardship which—through various media/political channels—resulted in a sustained rise in support for the Republicans,

Albanese and Labor could barely have been more supportive of Israel, or less sympathetic of the Palestinian civilians massacred and starved. Did that satisfy News Corp? Not even. And now he invites the president of the genocidal state to visit. Does he think they will lay off now? Ofc they won’t. 🤡

The global right-wing outrage machine has hijacked an unspeakable tragedy. Sign the petition in solidarity with Jewish people standing against politicians and lobbyists who are exploiting the Bonid massacre to push a divisive agenda. jewishcouncil.good.do/unity/jewish...

Petition: We will not be divided after Bondi. Add your name: jewishcouncil.good.do/unity/jewish...

🤣🤣

Incredible the entire press gallery is actually buying the line (promulgated by Netanyahu!) that Albanese is personally to blame for the Bondi attack. No one is actually explaining how firing academics for opposing Israel’s genocide would stop two people who never went to uni from this shooting.

Or his religion, I expect.

Simon, her politicising of this event is about as low an act from a supposed leader as I've ever seen I don't care what political colours anyone wears, (see Kellie Sloane's classy response as an example of what we should expect) but Ley's instant, opportunistic politicking of this is disgusting

An important piece. With dark forces already seeking to exploit this horrific event we must be extremely vigilant to avoid this: “Calls are already rising for attacks on peaceful protest, free speech and freedom of assembly”.

Let's not forget Pauling Hanson and James Ashby wanted to weaken Australias gun laws #auspol

Nearly every under 16 I know has cracked the social media ban and they are sharing with others how to do it. I’m not surprised, the tech firms half arsed the verification. So glad we spent so much time and $100k in minister airfares on this policy. #auspol

Electricity prices! What a shemozzle! I can't flick a switch without thinking of former LNP PM John Howard's: "We are firmly of the belief that services are best provided by private industry." Can you think of 1 instance where privatisation has worked for consumers? Labor started it in 1991.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Climate of fear: are CSIRO’s sweeping job cuts a sign Australia doesn’t care about the extinction crisis? Ever decreasing funding for the globally respected government agency mirrors an industry-wide trend that could hinder scientific breakthroughs www.theguardian.com/australia-ne....

Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me: the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In a world of absolute wankers, it‘s refreshing to hear widespread love for a man who – it seemed – improved the lives of everyone he met. RIP Mani.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve. No contract? NO COFFEE!

Too mean? 🤷🏼‍♂️

This document is the product of a broken administration, motivated by cynicism, immune to human decency, with a weak-to-non-existent understanding of the policy area they wish to legislate in.

The original March for Humanity on the harbour bridge in Sydney was planned for Sun Aug 3, 2025 After the Minns govt took the protest orgs to the NSW Supreme Court, it was held on Sun Aug 31, 2025 But please let's hear again about weekend dates not registering as an issue for the Minns govt 🧐

Okay, it's going off! Peeps in the southern half of Australia - we could be in for an aurora tonight. Fingers crossed. In fact, the next two nights are shaping up to be excellent. No promises though. Point your camera south after dark and try a long exposure shot. [My photo from May 2024]

Oh FFS. Piss right off will you? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...
