100/124 writers due at Adelaide Writers Festival have pulled out, as has sponsor, the Australia Institute. I'm loving this display of solidarity, and rejection of racism and Islamophobia.

Hey my PM, what about all the expansions of coal mines/gas fields that your govt has approved? Fuelling these fires and much worse to come? The increase in greenhouse gases and the consequent rise in temperatures threatens life on this planet. You can help change this. We voted for this change!

Thank-you Greg, and all those who’ve withdrawn; you have my full respect. I’ll certainly keep a record of those that haven’t; some of whom I’d respected; until now!

Meanwhile at Murdoch’s The Australian they are in lock step with the dictatorial Trump who’s murdering his citizens on the street and censorious Zionists who won’t tolerate free speech against the genocidal Israeli regime. “Trump watching Albanese“ 🙄 How about you fuck off!

Peter Fitzsimons out of the Adelaide Writers Weeks as well.
About as mainstream friendly as you can get (pretty much only books my dad reads).
We are on the side of the good and the majority.
Also good note re Louise Adler - she is very much being targeted by this. Zionists *want* her to resign

I listened to Albos terms of reference, it was all about what you can't investigate, like what is causing anti semitism, you know things like Israel's Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and land grabs and violence in the West Bank, Israeli bombing sovereign state neighbours to steal more land

One doesn't strengthen social cohesion by ignoring foreign interference on behalf of 0.4% of the population.
The Australian prime minister has announced the federal royal commission will examine four key areas, including antisemitism, how law enforcement will respond to antisemitism, the circumstances surrounding the Bondi attack and strengthening social cohesion.

Today's vote to advance our resolution to block further military action in Venezuela was significant.
We'll now have a full debate on the Senate floor over the President's use of U.S. military forces, and a mission that seems to be far more about oil revenues than drugs.
