    @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.

              @jillL I have a horrible feeling that the Zionists got the outcome they wanted.

                  #MossadMinns is at it again:
                  “… the ABC understands Dr Abdel-Fattah is due to speak at the festival, and that the Minns government has been in discussions with board members about that appearance.”

                    Censoring discussion of censorship. Would that be irony?

                    Antoinette Lattouf @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social Let's see if our panel on censorship gets censored by the government/lobbyist alliance. NSW government has already made contact with Newcastle Writers Festival board about including Palestinian-Australian author Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, ABC reports When will the bullying & intimidation stop ?
