Actually I think it's kind of a classy thanks but eat shit message to the premier from the festival. Considering they had their jobs threatened last week. I hope he gets skewered further and marginalised in his party room.

Yep Dr Abdel-Fattah is clearly light years ahead of Malinauskas on an intellectual level. But perhaps some of that academic language is lost on the common folk and this is actually calculated by the premier I dunno.
