As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.
A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

Australia excludes visitors for poor character and inciting discord. On both grounds, Israel’s president should be barred from visiting Australia, writes John Menadue.

Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke should reject a visa application for Israeli President Herzog
Australia’s visa laws allow exclusion on grounds of character and incitement of discord. Those tests raise serious questions about whether Israel’s president should be welcomed while the killing in Gaza continues.

<p>An eight-month-old infant suffered "injuries to the face and head" in the attacks on Wednesdy, according to Wafa news agency.</p>

If the Government's top priority is productivity, slashing the CSIRO budget does not make sense
Research and development is one of the major drivers of productivity and the CSIRO has a long track record of making productivity enhancing breakthroughs.
