AMonkeyInSilkA non-apology from the Adelaide writers festival.
For the avoidance of doubt the decision was improper, not the communication of that decision.
Dr Abdel-Fattah gets it.
"We also apologise to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah for how the decision was represented and reiterate this is not about identity or dissent but rather a continuing rapid shift in the national discourse around the breadth of freedom of expression in our nation following Australia's worst terror attack in history."
In a post on Instagram, Abdel-Fattah said she rejected the board's apology.
