Under the Education and Training Act 2020 NZ universities are required to act as 'a critic and conscience of society'. A senior government minister publicly announcing plans for retribution against an academic because they don't like the opinions expressed by them is deeply troubling and sinister.
Absolutely agree, Vincent. It's abhorrent & deeply troubling that a political party is attacking an academic for speaking out. That is a true example of retrenchment of Free Speech. I hope Victoria gives support to such a valuable academic.🙏💚
