The Adelaide Festival is facing an unprecedented crisis after nearly 50 prominent authors and speakers withdrew from its 2026 Writers’ Week, according to theguardian.com. The mass boycott follows the board’s decision to dump Palestinian-Australian academic Randa Abdel-Fattah from the programme, a move critics have branded “gross discrimination”. The festival board justified the removal of Abdel-Fattah, a Macquarie University academic, by citing “cultural sensitivity” following the recent Bondi terror attack. Abdel-Fattah, who has previously faced criticism from Jewish organisations and the Coalition for her anti-Zionist views, called the association with the Bondi tragedy “obscene”. Evelyn Araluen, the Stella Prize-winning poet described the move as a “betrayal” and a “spectacle of censorship”.

Consumer Insight: Audiences respond to Fraser's "residual affection" (comeback narrative, Oscar validation, earnest screen presence) making him theatrical draw for feel-good material—post-Whalegoodwill converts to ticket sales for similar emotional territory. Brand Insight: "Rental family" premise combines cultural novelty (Western audiences unfamiliar with Japanese practice) with universal theme (loneliness, connection desire), allowing Hikari to explore specific culture through accessible emotional framework avoiding documentary distancing.

Ben Twomey, chief executive of Generation Rent, says most landlords are able to absorb an increase in tax. He adds: “Regardless of costs, landlords find it all too easy to raise rents anyway when wages are rising and building new homes slows down.
