"the Cambridge Literary Festival is programming a session titled ‘Truth, Courage and Fiction’ as part of its upcoming winter programme. I hope that ‘truth and courage’ are not simply another form of performative grandstanding. I hope the Festival will choose principle over posturing and follow through with my session at an alternative venue."

Why was the 2026 Adelaide Writers’ Week cancelled? The event stopped after 180 writers quit because the board removed author Randa Abdel-Fattah from the program.

Over 180 writers quit the Adelaide festival in just a few days. This is about 70% of all the guests who were supposed to speak at the event, causing it to fail.

Putting myself out a limb here but I don’t think either #randaabdelfattah or #thomasfriedman should be silenced. They both bring prospective on a complex issue. Friedman may be less passionate than Abdel-Fattah but that could be put down to personal experience. I think they both have said things that I don’t agree with but like most people, who aren’t evil, they have said many good/important things. I would have liked to have seen both at the #adelaidewritersweek

"When the board of a South Australian festival cut a prominent Palestinian Australian author from its lineup, citing her “past statements” in the context of the deadly Bondi terror attack, it no doubt braced itself for controversy.
What it may not have foreseen, however, is an implosion."

"Former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has become the latest international headline act to pull out of the 2026 Adelaide writers’ week in protest over the Adelaide festival board’s decision to rescind its invitation to Palestinian-Australian academic Randa Abdel-Fattah."

Adelaide Festival board resigns and Adelaide Writers’ Week cancelled after 180 authors pull out in protest of Zionist board decision to disinvite Palestinian author.
Remember this, if you’re a Zionist: like the Nazis before you, you are committing genocide, you are on the wrong side of history, and – as long as there are people of good moral character and conscience to oppose you – you will not succeed. Your only allies are the MAGAs of the world and those too spineless to stand up to them and to fascism. And your entire movement that conflates support for settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide with being Jewish is fundamentally antisemitic, an affront to Jews who oppose Zionism, and makes Jews everywhere less safe.

Louise Adler resigns as director of Adelaide writers’ week
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2026/jan/13/louise-adler-resigns-as-director-of-adelaide-writers-week-ntwnfb
Respect for Louise Adler, and admiration for her sense of integrity.
After the Board overruled her and cancelled Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah’s invitation, she resigned from her position of Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week.
"I cannot be party to silencing writers, so with a heavy heart I am resigning from my role as the director of the AWW."
Speaking as the daughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors, and whose grandfather and extended family were murdered by Nazis, she implores us not to look away from what Israel is doing in Palestine.
"And that it is incumbent upon humanity to look at what is happening in Gaza now and to say, ‘We will not accept this. We will say no, not in our name.’"
