Cancel Culture critics insist the movement to remove controversial names, symbols and objects has gone too far and is restricting the free exchange of ideas.

An increasing number of colonial statues are being torn down and brand names changed in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests.

Schools have been renamed and products such as Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben’s and Land O’Lakes butter have been attacked along with Goya food company and Facebook. In response to this movement, 153 prominent artists and intellectuals including Noam Chomsky and J.K. Rowling signed a letter warning against an intolerance of opposing views. Image: Getty

Victorians 'just want answers, honest answers about what's going on' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Labor Senator Stephen Conroy says the people of Victoria 'just want answers, honest answers about what's going on'. \n\nAn inquiry into Victoria's hotel quarantine system is due to start on July 20, but has received criticism for not having the power to compel testimony. \n\nMr Conroy told Sky News on Saturday he believed the inquiry would get to the bottom of the issues, despite not having powers of compulsion. \n\n'I can't imagine a state minister or a state public servant would not want to answer the questions, and if one of the companies involved try and avoid answering a question I think they would be placing themselves in commercial difficulty going forward as a company,' he said. \n\nMr Conroy compared the hotel quarantine debacle in Victoria to the Ruby Princess cruise ship fiasco in New South Wales and urged everyone involved to be transparent so 'the problems are identified and fixed so it doesn't happen again'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia we're not going to get them, the judicial enquiry is a farce.
