SA Premier shares excitement at PM’s $400 million South Adelaide hospital upgradeSouth Australia Premier Peter Malinauskas excitedly reminisced a phone call he had with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese discussing state hospital upgrades following his announcement of a $400 million upgrade of Flinder's Medical Centre today. Over the next few weeks 26 new acute inpatient beds will be opened as part of the government’s mid-year goal to open 120 new beds, new surgical spaces, extra MRI and CT scanners in the state’s second largest hospital. “12 months ago, I asked the then opposition leader Anthony Albanese to contemplate joining with my government to actually deliver that step change,” Mr Malinauskas said in a media conference on Thursday. “I remember well Prime Minister exactly where I was when we had a phone call late in the evening, and you were all too accommodating to make sure that South Australia could partner with a federal Labor government to deliver on this $400 million upgrade.” The full upgrade will be completed by 2028.

Adelaide Writers’ Week under fire for ‘atrocious’ anti-Semite guest speakersExecutive Council of Australian Jewry co-CEO Alex Ryvchin has slammed the Adelaide Writers' Week for allowing two “atrocious” anti-Semite guests to speak at the event, calling it an “appalling lack of judgement”. Mr Ryvchin refers to Palestinian author Mohammed El-Kurd and Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa, who have both expressed controversial views about Ukrainian’s President and Israel. Ms Abulhawa previously tweeted a call to “dismantle Israel”, calling it a “colonial nation of degenerates”. “Her tweets are vicious; they incite violence and hatred, they call for a tax of civilians, they call for the destruction of a sovereign state,” Mr Ryvchin told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “This isn’t a one-off – this is a pattern of behaviour.”
