Education Minister Dan Tehan has warned the university free speech is paramount after it deleted tweets about human rights in Hong Kong.

Huang Yuwen, a Sydney-based lawyer and UNSW graduate with links to the Chinese consulate, helped orchestrate the online campaign against the university.

"Hope everyone can join together to let UNSW delete [the] improper tweet," he said on WeChat. "Calling for students with the same idea to bring pressure to the school together. Stop the wrong political view in our university.

Liberal Dave Sharma said the university had seemingly caved on core academic freedoms in response to an "orchestrated campaign of online intimidation".

We should probably defund unsw for a bit. Theyve been extremely unaustralian as of late

So.... Dan supports BLM protesters then?

Human rights is not a controversial issue. How can we count on UNSW officials to defend academic freedom, if they mute their own faculty to please some Chinese students who can’t respect intellectual debate?

The University of NSW as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party. Sickening grovelling.

Two tweets that show ‘deadly’ truthThis week, two seemingly banal social media post inadvertently exposed the huge threat looming over Australia, the US and the world, writes Joe_Hildebrand Joe_Hildebrand Always amuses me that ol Joe is utterly convinced he is correct in his musings, even when spouting rubbish. Joe_Hildebrand Since NSW has 'Amazing' contact tracing, it would be more productive(not divisive) for the media to be asking questions about how much capacity NSW has to help Victoria contact trace. It would display the correct attitude to the public whilst playing to the slogan of 'team Oz' Joe_Hildebrand lol. Tracing 14 cases. Wow. Impressive. Not. Victoria has thousands to trace.
