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.

The NAF govt have noticed that they are getting a lot of criticism, and their solution is to remove free speech rights.

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.🙏💚

Tautoko and it is deeply distressing as well as the pathetic and inadequate response from the academic’s employer
