In short:

More than 50 writers and moderators have withdrawn from the Bendigo Writers Festival over concerns about their freedom of speech.

It has resulted in the cancellation of the opening night gala.

The writers who have withdrawn say they are concerned the event's code of conduct impinges on free speech in relation to the war in Gaza.
