Sad news today of the death of Rose Wight , a brilliant Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week and the co-founder of the Festival of Ideas . She was a passionate advocate for writing and reading and her festivals were unmissable for everyone in the book business.

Nothing new about letters / phone calls being used to intimidate arts orgs & silence artists.Lobby groups simply ramped up efforts in the last 22 months. hhttps://www.theage.com.au/culture/books/letter-to-bendigo-writers-festival-emerges-flagging-concern-over-palestinian-writer-20250818-p5mnpd.html

A week before the Bondi shooting the Lions of Zion held a “ family friendly” party in a Melbourne park, celebrating the Mossad pager attack which killed 42 people and injured 4000.

In the name of “social cohesion” Zionists will soon have their own exclusive armed special forces on Australian streets, in addition to special oversight of Australian media, arts, culture, and education by way of the Zionist envoy, Jillian Segal. Cool and normal.

No Adelaide Writers Week for me. I can’t in any good conscience now appear at a festival seeking to mute a very necessary public conversation … Randa Abdel-Fattah is an important voice. Here’s something I published from her on, guess what, Palestinian marginalisation. meanjin.com.au/latest/the-g...

Holy shit, this way beyond the pale. archive.is/ngaMG

Thankyou to every writer - so many - who stood against censorship, racism and political interference in WritersWeek2026. Your resistance matters. Standing together matters. Clear eyes matter - especially when SA’s political leaders fail us.

The #AdelaideFestival could replace the #AdelaideWritersFestival with a "prominent Australian sports people" festival, with guests hand-picked by the Zionist lobby and SA Premier Peter Malinauskas. 😏 #auspol

Iran is an Islamic theocracy because of the US. Iran had a democratic government which the US and UK overthrew to install a brutal pro western dictatorship for oil. The 79 revolution was a direct consequence of this. People pretend the government is anti-US for no reason

For everyone complaining about the military not doing enough to rein in Mad King Donald, check out the first paragraph. The special forces adults are telling the bratty toddler "no" and he hates it.

STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!!!

Thinking of all affected by the bushfires, such a tragic loss of life. Thanks to career & volunteer firefighters risking their lives to protect people & homes. In a warming climate bushfire season is going to become more deadly. It's time to ramp up global action on climate. No new coal and gas.

Absolute fire, Cathy. Hell yes. Love your work.

Few words. My @smh @theage cartoon

Anyone who's standing against our Government is a Patriot today. Trump is an Enemy of all Americans, he's gone to War with our Country. Our Military personnel should question who and what they're serving. We don't invade our neighbors, friends and allies. That's what Fascists do.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Unbelievable. I told the Sky News guy to fuck off with his questions and now *that* is the story. This hungry beast is insatiable. How’s that Royal Commission into Murdoch media going?

"panel discussions left with just one participant .. stage interviews with just a questioner" as sponsors teeter and Festival board has no quorum. Can Adelaide Writers Week be saved? #auspol @kimwingerei.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/adelaide-wri...

This should be more obvious to everyone, but we cannot let the people comfortable with the mass slaughter of children further shape our culture, our democracies, our future as a species. It's the path to a depraved fascistic hellhole.

Hey @australianlabor.bsky.social Remove Chris Minns and his racism or we will remove you

The US military can clearly see a traitor pissing on the constitution, ruining their country and they are standing by and doing nothing. They're not worth shit.

I wonder if our mainstream news media will report the wonderful work being done by Sikh Volunteers Australia. Or if our political leaders will praise or thank their community spirit. Here's their FB page: www.facebook.com/share/1C7nWJ... #SikhVolunteersAustralia #VictoriaBushfires #auspol

Govt Minister Madeleine King has backed the #AdelaideFestival's controversial decision to axe Palestinian-Australian writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah from the #AdelaideWritersFestival. Albo. Wong. Marles. Now Madeleine King. I'm struggling to find a Labor MP I trust or respect. 😠 #auspol #FreePalestine

When Zionists are done purging free thinkers from Australian public culture, we'll be left with the most moronic, pathetic, racist, humourless, cowardly bootlicking stooges and little else. So yeah...... I guess it won't be that different after all.

Israeli forces killed at least four Palestinians on Sunday in airstrikes and gunfire in the Gaza Strip, in fresh violations of a ceasefire agreement in effect since October, medical sources told Anadolu. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260111-at-...

Read the Constitution sometime.

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.

“Earlier today, South Australia's Premier Peter Malinauskas elaborated on his involvement in the matter, saying he offered his "clear and plain" opinion to the board but did not instruct it to change the Writers' Week schedule.” Disingenuous shite www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The fourth #wind farm to reach financial close in a late 2025 flurry of activity will feature the most powerful turbines to be installed in #Australia to date.

The Royal Commission absolutely needs to examine the malignant influence the Israeli govt and its lobbyists have on Australian media (and government policy)
