. . . if there was going to be a big awkward gap in the live proceedings at the PMLA in Launceston, might’ve been smart to spend a few bob making short video interviews with the nominees to play during the down time? Just a thought. #pmlitawards

Thirty minutes in, looks like the PMLA livestream has been paused so the nominees can have a spot of lunch. Che? Did no one think give a thought to the few literary souls across Australia watching at home or in the office? #pmlitawards

Minister for the Arts @Tony_Burke also a no show at the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards ceremony today, along with Albo. Maybe Launceston seems a slightly quixotic venue if the main power players can’t make it?

545 books submitted across six categories. 30 on the short list. The nation’s leading literary awards without the shadow of a doubt. #PMLitAwards #PittStreetPoetry
OK we’re watching the livestream of the 2022 Prime Minister’s Literary Awards live from Launceston. Albo a no show. But the first time there’s been a livestream, as far as we can recall?? #PMLitAwards #PittStreetPoetry
