#sapol Malinauskas is secretly chopping trees in Adelaide parklands tomorrow Friday 13th. Add this to list of why not to vote Labor at next election- banned Palestinian writer and destroyed #Writersweek (is he pro-zionist?), voted against #abortionrights, and is pro #datacentres and lying about it.

Down here, this could be an insight that our crypto fascist Labor govts at state and federal level would be wise to understand.

🙏🏽 to so many writers withdrawing from WritersWeek in solidarity with Dr Abdel-Fattah & against racism & discrimination. This grave error (backed by the Premier!) is 💔. It must be reversed. We need these spaces for talk like never before. First they came for the artists…

This is a shocker!
IMO, he's misled everyone regarding his role prior to #RandaAbdelFatah being dropped from #WritersWeek.
Political suicide.

Looking over the preliminary list for 2026's Adelaide Writer's Week. So far everything announced is a ticketed event that will cost money. I guess the days of seeing great authors free of charge at Writer's Week is over. So sad. I'll still go, but I can't afford all of it.

That was bizarre. Random old guy asking Tobias Buck if Germans will ever forgive the Jews for Auschwitz. Was asked if had got mixed up, nope. He was serious. He thinks Germans blame Jews for the holocaust. Stunned silence.
He is wrong, as we know.

Time Peter #Malinauskus 2025 admitted that he screwed #Adelaide #WritersWeek 2026 up. Should have listened to Peter Malinauskus 2023.
Still shaking my head that Malinauskus, after pressuring the board for months to cancel Abdel-Fattah, had the effrontery to add:
“The people who run this festival, which is the board … have got this into a pretty awful situation.”
