In her maiden speech, Liberal senator Claire Chandler observed that few couples spend the first six months of their marriage on the campaign trail.
Chandler has an impeccable Liberal pedigree. She was president of the Tasmanian Young Liberals, president of the federal Young Liberals, a member of the party’s federal executive, and a long-serving delegate to the party’s state council and women’s council in Tasmania. She worked at Deloitte for several years before politics, and is a member of the Institute of Public Affairs.
This claim, chiefly advanced by cultural warriors on the political right, is disputed by many vice-chancellors and academics, who insist universities are still pluralistic domains where ideas can be robustly debated in the name of truth and learning. The real question for policymakers here is whether these examples represent an actual problem at universities or whether they are just isolated incidents .
Chandler thinks that’s a cop-out. “I don’t think we would be in the situation we currently are if vice-chancellors, university leaders across the country, had taken this issue seriously,” she says. Chandler has also vigorously defended Holly Lawford-Smith, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Melbourne whoFor Chandler, this backlash is a clear example of left-wing intolerance for academic freedom. But in their open letter, the petitioners underline that they support academic freedom, while contending that “academic freedom does not mean the freedom to spread misinformation and incite hatred”.
michaelkoziol Good luck to her. But how does this nobody warrant a profile
michaelkoziol For the people in this thread. How do we know terf is a sexist slur? Always directed at women. Always pejorative.
michaelkoziol She's a Taswegian. Eric Abetz has left her to the Senate in his will. slackbastard
michaelkoziol Just what we need. Another cultural warrior in Parliament who imports all their thinking from the US Republicans. So with uni speech she doesn't know 'the full quantum of the issue', but then says the VCs haven't 'taken this issue seriously' I find it hard to take her seriously.
michaelkoziol free speech does not include hate speech Who's culture is this a warrior for? Shame on you for giving this a platform What a slap in the face seeing this archaic toxic shit on InternationalWomensDay
michaelkoziol Ahhh, so a bigot then. She will go far in politics.
michaelkoziol Stop giving these people a voice. They already have one and don't need your promotion. By giving them publicity, you agree with them. This is not okay. Australia needs to do better 👎🏻
michaelkoziol Just because people have extremely shitty opinions doesn't mean you have to amplify them.
michaelkoziol What right wing fuckery is this?
michaelkoziol What the fuck are you doing koz
michaelkoziol And I would hazard a guess she thinks DonaldJTrump is the best thing that has happened in her lifetime.
michaelkoziol With that kind of language she labels herself.
michaelkoziol The conclusion of this article is a cracker 👏
michaelkoziol You can only assume Michael Koziol is a transphobe.
michaelkoziol Another whackjob from the LNP. Home of anti-science nonsense, that would be laughable if it didn't have the real potential to hurt a great deal of people in her electorate and the rest of Australia. Transphobia has no place in any elected office. auspol LNPToxicCulture
michaelkoziol How long before the misogynistic hard left try to destroy her? Not long I’d say. They will accuse her of heinous act in the leftist manual and produce zero evidence to support it... just read the thread.
michaelkoziol What's with all the LNP politician puff pieces lately?
michaelkoziol Mmm....Latest in a series of articles trying to humanise the inhumane, eh Michael? She's IPA, a bunch who call themselves 'Libertarians' Why not introduce legislation to guarantee human rights in Australia. Make Clause 1: Free Speech. No? She's just another hypocritical Liberal.
michaelkoziol Why is it everyone else's problem that people don't like you? These snowflakes need to toughen up.
michaelkoziol “The culture of not considering alternative viewpoints certainly seems to have gotten a lot worse in the intervening decade” says woman representing oppressed minorities... ...oh sorry, my fault, her party is in Government. Just claiming her voice has been shut down.
michaelkoziol Another IPA ghoul with no real world experience. TERF her out.
michaelkoziol Why do we continue to elect ppl who want to push their own views & not represent ours
michaelkoziol ah yes, platforming a TERF and making them seem like taking an aggressively anti-queer stance is just a gentle difference of opinion...happy fucken Mardi Gras
michaelkoziol Terrific, another IPA hack. Just what Australia needs.
michaelkoziol Seriously, Michael: I'm not the only person unimpressed the way this is reported. Too many 'free speech cultural warriors' are basically people who want to be openly bigoted without any negative consequences whatsoever. This fact should be broadcast from the mountaintops.
michaelkoziol Smart chick! Definitely the antidote to Morrison. But this election is over.
michaelkoziol
Michael why do you love amplifying transphobes
michaelkoziol Fantastic news another advocate for free speech, we need them more than ever now..I wonder what she thinks of alleged rapists and their protectors,hiding in plain sight among the top echelons of her work place.I sincerely hope she feels safe among all that old boy conservatism.
michaelkoziol If Claire Chandler is truly a 'free speech culture warrior', she would support reform to Australian's draconian defamation laws. Since she doesn't, I can only judge her a charlatan.
michaelkoziol oh goody
michaelkoziol All for free speech until someone says something contrary to their desired narrative. In other words just another hypocrite. 🥱
michaelkoziol Free speech culture warrior? That is, a heartless dickhead.
michaelkoziol While in reality she seeks to limit the freedom of women to have a safe and legal abortion, and limit the freedom of LGBT people to be themselves.
michaelkoziol Terf.
michaelkoziol Gee I wish more revolting TERFs had national platforms. 🙄
michaelkoziol They care so little for free speech. Lest we forget Manus etc. Just liars for hire like all Coalition politicians. 🤬
michaelkoziol She is NOT a member of the government; she's a member of the governing Coalition. To be a member of the government she would have to hold a Ministerial post or equivalent
michaelkoziol Ah yes, the terf
michaelkoziol Another born to ruler with zero life experience pretending she's some freedom warrior, when all she's interested in is oppression.
michaelkoziol A culture warrior in the most toxic misogynistic party in political history.. hope she fixes the LNP before she tackles the broader community.. there’s enough hypocrisy already. auspol AuspolSoCorrupt
michaelkoziol So another Trump in knickers?
michaelkoziol *sigh* 😔
michaelkoziol Is she a bible basher? Hillsong? Sounds like it.
michaelkoziol I don’t know her from a bar of soap nor her wider views but she’s dead right on Uni standards and group think.
michaelkoziol she seems dreadful
