Fuck UQ. You are going to see enrollements drop and your money supply cut off soon.

SBS has a bias towards CCP China. There must be someone working there who has been planted by the CCP. The tweet is not strictly speaking false but is not accurate. Drew is highly critical of UQ’s ties to the CCP and how the CCP is controlling freedom of speech at UQ.

Is this a joke? Is China already governing Australia?sbsnews

Fair enough. Now he can be an activist against the organisation without having a conflict of interest. He should see that as a win.

University of Queensland definitely cares about money more than free speech

Coverage of this Drew Pavlou Kangaroo Court everywhere except, you guessed it, The Conversation, a website funded by University and trolled by CCP Disinformation Officers. Time to de fund the De Platformers

The University and it’s staff will lose in the end and I hope they are personally sued for $ millions

Such a shame on the university

Free speech eroded! Everything we used to fight for at uni and give our opinions on gone! Scary times

Maybe it is time for some UQ academics to speak out in favour of Mr Pavlou’s exercise of free speech on campus? After all, academics have tenure so that they can speak freely on controversial subjects without fear of losing their jobs. Let’s be hearing you now!

China has taken over.

Regarding Minneapolis protests, I wonder which side Pavlou would stand with? - If he opted for authority, then he is a double-standard clown; - If he opted for rioters, then he tend to express political proposition by hurting the innocent.

So much for free speech...mind you I don’t what he’s been saying.

Sue UQ. Raise funds, crowd funding. UQ's all funding should be suspended.

What’s wrong with those people commenting here? Have you read the whole report?

No one in the mainstream media is reporting what Drew actually did to earn this suspension. He had it coming with his treatment of Chinese students who disagreed with him. The university was a lighter touch than it could have been to suspend temporarily rather than expel.

take these Chinese lovers to court, your rights have been abused

Confirmation of his concerns.

How do you play this one sbs, with your incessant shilling for international students?

This university shouldn’t receive government funding

What a clusterf--k.

He should appeal

This is going to turn out FANTASTIC for Uni QLD.

Can the government hand them a two year funding suspension; pleas!

Have a look on whirlpool forum for the full story, this is really concerning.

This OINK is a Plant for the 'IPA' and Dn't kid your self it is not

Send him back to China!

That’s not what I was expect from Australians. Where did the brave and freedom-loving Australians go?

This should worry every Australian. What have our Universities become!

University of Beijing in Queensland. Shameful to be an Australian. Lots of things need to follow up! DanielAndrewsMP sold Victoria to belt and road, GladysLiuMP has bad memory on she was a member of Communist Party and now UQ disrespect freedom of speech! AustralianLabor

University of Queensland cowards bowing to their masters in the CCP

Oh the surprise. Wishing him all the best in the Supreme Court.

Protecting their income. Fairly embarrassing, extremely unaustralian. Hopefully he follows up with legal action.

Maybe spend your time learning not whining The question is not what he has done, but how he did it Uni $$$ & the CCP seems to be more important than the right to question on campus these days. Thought crime in academia defeats the purpose.

'Stuck in the dark ages': The education failure that's forcing Queensland parents to take desperate measuresHomeschooling during the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed growing inequality within Queensland's education system, as some parents are forced to choose between paying bills or providing critical equipment for their children. Qld education has not been up to speed for decades. Only Queensland? I would think less well off families across Australia would be similarly affected.

COVID-positive students were infectious in class despite daily temperature checksTwo students later diagnosed with COVID-19 attended their eastern suburbs private schools while infectious, despite both schools conducting temperature checks on all returning students. It proved that there are Zero measures in the schools to protect students. Just like NBN and light rail, this government is incapable of doing anything. NSW schools will be the next RubyPrincess Shows that temperature checks not that great for COVID-19. You only have to take a look at kids in a playground that don't listen and ignore distancing and you can see how this spreads quickly. It's insane.
