Pauline #Hanson might hate our country but I love Australia and I’m a proud Australian. I’m also proud our First Nations and Multicultural communities and our shared contributions in making this country one of greatest in the world. We are stronger together.

If the lesson of these wars is that empire, occupation, imperial machinery and industrialised violence against civilians are unconscionable and catastrophic - that lesson applies today just as much as 1915. Lest we forget means nothing if it only looks backwards.

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi. A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.
