Abdel-Fattah Drops Defamation Case | Adelaide News

Randa Abdel-Fattah drops her defamation case against SA Premier Peter Malinauskas, calling it too costly and risky to pursue in court — but her fight isn’t over. She’s now targeting La Trobe University and Bendigo Council in Victoria over what she calls anti-Palestinian racism, shifting tactics as she continues her broader battle for justice. The fallout from her removal from Adelaide Writers’ Week — including a writer boycott, board resignations, and event cancellation — remains a flashpoint, even as Malinauskas insists he always promoted civil discourse. Abdel-Fattah’s move signals a strategic retreat from one battlefield to another, proving not all victories are won in court — but the fight is far from finished.
