The Miles Franklin Literary Award’s longlist is announced for the $60,000 prize, featuring Randa Abdel-Fattah’s novel *Discipline*, according to multiple reports. The sources say *Discipline* is selected in the context of recent controversy involving Abdel-Fattah’s removal from Adelaide Writers’ Week. All three outlets identify that event as part of the background to the longlist nomination, linking the literary award selection to the dispute over her participation in the earlier festival program.
Beyond naming *Discipline* and referencing the Adelaide Writers’ Week controversy, the provided reports do not list additional longlisted authors or explain the selection criteria or judging process. The coverage is consistent across outlets in presenting the announcement as a public listing of eligible works for the prize, while the mention of the earlier controversy frames public attention around Abdel-Fattah and her book as the longlist is released.
