The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

Accused of domestic violence, smashed his house up, lost in the casino out of control drunk, groped a fellow passenger’s nipple on a plane, too dangerous for his own family …that Grant Hackett?

After the floods of 2025, can we keep 2026 above water?

There’s twice as many utes as tradies in Australia. We need remove the luxury car tax exemption which incentivises people to buy megautes instead of safer, cleaner smaller cars and SUVs.

This country is not those two. They were radicalised extremists. That’s the point. Extremism is by its nature rare. It does not grow from a failure of moral consensus. It seeks to shock the consensus that exists. Those suggesting otherwise for their own advantage betray the memory of this tragedy.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.
