“Don’t look at what they say they’re doing, look at what they are actually doing. What they are actually doing is systematically strangling free expression to death wherever it is critical of the state of Israel.”

@jillL I gather that this saga began when the board was stacked with new appointments. Now that so many have gone, watch closely who replaces them.

“… spare a thought for the Festival staff, passionate individuals who work long and hard for below-market salaries to transform the city each year …”

Writers Week is dead. Will the Festival survive?
“The focus is now on ensuring a successful Adelaide Festival …”
Make up your own mind about the weasel words. 😡

A psychologist would have a field day analysing Malinauskas’ performance. It’s DOCTOR Abdel-Fattah, Peter.
Does associating with Zionists rot the brain?

If this dude keeps going they’ll end up cancelling Adelaide entirely, not just the festival.
@ewen
Just change ‘Adelaide’ to ‘Moscow-on-Torrens’ and be done with it.

Maybe the ALP can find a better leader for this upcoming election.

We’re finding out how deeply #Zionism has corrupted Australia’s polity.

In 1930s Germany, the Nazis consolidated power by “Gleichschaltung”: ensuring that the public’s perception of reality did not conflict with Nazi ideology.

@DropBear I also feel sorry for all the people looking forward to going to the #AdelaideFestival. It looked like a great and diverse line-up. Then they tanked it all over some made up “offence”. 😡
Many will be disappointed @jillL Plans will be disrupted. Authors will suffer financially. During Writers Week, many books are sold.

@DropBear It’s going to be difficult for them to entice busy, in-demand, high-profile authors back next year.
Writers Week is dead @jillL
