Hello friends. I am Yanis Varoufakis stealing a few of your moments to tear up, in front of you, the invitation to appear in the 2026 Adelaide Writers’ Week to present my new book RAISE YOUR SOUL. I was looking forward to returning to Adelaide for what has been for decades a brilliant festival of books, ideas and debate. No longer. The Zionist Lobby destroyed it. By forcing the Board to disinvite fellow author Randa Abdel-Fattah. By identifying even Bob Carr, the former Premier of NSW and Australia’s former foreign minister, an individual “of concern”. By forcing the Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week, my marvellous, Jewish friend Louise Adler, to resign, they left me with no option other than to tear up my coveted invitation in public. As Louise says, friends and colleagues in the arts, beware of the future. They are coming for you.



Throwback to when @Erin_Molan interviewed Hamas supporter Randa Abdel-Fattah and nearly had to walk off set. Abdel-Fattah has been praising Hamas since October 7 yet someone at the @adelwritersweek festival thought she'd be a faaabulous guest.



Has anyone heard from the SA Premier Malinauskas since the Adelaide Festival Board ( with his support) decided to discriminate against/ban/silence Randa Abdel Fattah & thereby trashed its esteemed AWW & lost support of its staff & the wider literary world?

Jane said it with more eloquence than I could muster. I'm out, too. With extra love for the fine Festival Director, Dr Louise Adler.
