Senate Estimates piled on the Creative Australia's Vennice Biennale shitshow. I am sure other things happened this week but that took most of my attention.

Everything revealed by Adrian Collette at the Senate Estimates hearing left me wondering WTF now?!, and it seems I am not the only one.
What's been going on?

Creative Australia's Senate Estimates evidence was very telling
TL;DR
Senate Estimates revealed much about Creative Australia’s decision to cancel Khaled Sabsabi as Australia’s representation at the Venice Biennale 2026.
