Please don’t tell me that a single letter was behind the Adelaide Festival board’s decision

Adelaide festival dumps prominent academic Randa Abdel-Fattah over ‘cultural sensitivity’ concerns after Bondi attack Abdel-Fattah accuses the board of ‘blatant and shameless’ anti-Palestinian racism and censorship, as other authors pull out in solidarity

Writers festivals used to be about dangerous ideas.

Now they are about ensuring that their program of speakers and topics has been pre-approved by a foreign power, and/or their local agents.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

What If Wednesday: Increased taxes on the gas industry - ABC listen Today on 774 ABC Radio Melbourne Drive, What If Wednesday tackled the question: What if we increased taxes on the gas industry?

What if we taxed the gas industry properly?

"We're incredibly generous to the gas industry, most of which is foreign owned.

Seacliff beach this morning - but it could be Bondi. Our oceans are on fire. Dead marine life all over the beach. Scientists warned us. Now we are in it. End new fossil fuels. Stop subsidising coal and gas. Our world is on fire and our kids will cop it big time.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

Thanks Jo!!
