“I draw lots then I just come up with their names so it’s kind of easy” Silva shared how she came up with her characters’ names in our #StoryHunter program #nwf2023

Thank you to everyone that came along to Words and Music for @NewWritersfest last night. Thank you to all the songwriters and readers for all your efforts. Thank you to Rosemarie Milsom for the opportunity! The event was everything Dan Flegg and I hoped it would be. #NWF2023 #NWF

What an absolute treat. 📚 Talking to Craig Silvey for this year’s newcastlewritersfest will remain a highlight forever. I’ve loved his beautiful books & extraordinary characters for years. To meet & hear from the man who dreamed them up was very special. What a storyteller! #NWF23

Each year 160 volunteers support the festival in a range of roles – from answering questions about the program to checking tickets. We couldn’t do it without you! Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all of the volunteers who helped us make #NWF2023 a success 🙌

Leaving this here. Pure brilliance. Thanks for keeping it interesting #Succession #SuccessionHBO

Everyone thought the sky would fall when BHP shut down here. Transition is possible with planning, consultation and investment #QandA

Go well Craig Hamilton 25 years with the ABC is a brilliant innings. Saturday morning won’t be the same.

Buckle up. Kerry O’Brien and ABC chair Kim Williams Byron Writers Festival

Kim Williams: The ABC I’ve inherited is severely depleted and diminished . . . it’s made the organisation more timid and very much more interior focused Byron Writers Festival

Kim Williams: I loathe the acronym RN (for Radio. national). It creates the impression of an exclusive club Byron Writers Festival #abc #yourabc

Documentary: ‘It’s in a bad place and it needs restoration… the ABC needs to relearn how to spell documentary . . . it needs to rediscover its obligation to explain Australia to Australians’ #kimwilliams #abc #yourabc

In regard to news & current affairs, there are more opinions… than people in the conversation #kimwilliams #abc #yourabc

I think there is always work to be done in news & current affairs. . . I think we have too much as filler . . . I think the ABC should be a camera and a microphone to Australia . . . A very complex remit. It needs to have extraordinary integrity #kimwilliams #abc #yourabc

There needs to be organisational and cultural reform (at the #abc) #kimwilliams
