An article by Richard Flanagan (I presume the same as the author of ‘Gould’s book of fish’ and others?) regarding the blackballing of GG et al at the Brisbane writers festival recently.

Also mentions Lionel Shriver.

He raises a valid point - no platforming leads to conformity and a narrowed POV.

Surprised this got published in the Graun tbh. The comments, surprisingly, are pretty good.
