Union boss ignored university’s request to change polarising speech
Joe de Bruyn is unapologetic about his controversial speech which decried sparked a mass walkout at a graduation ceremony.
So an unlabelled bot. Tx for the submission.
Careful. Mods allow OPs behavior fairly unchecked but literally will take action against you for saying what you just did.
“We are not in the business of censoring occasional addresses or dictating content to our guest speakers. That would be completely at odds with our values of freedom of expression,” a spokesperson said.
This isn't a censorship issue. Who on earth green-lit a speech regarding abortion and contraceptives for a graduating ceremony? In what world is that considered relevant? Especially in a multi-faith and diverse society like Australia.
Oh it's relevant alright, he is just on the wrong side of both issues.
I think the fact that so many left during the speech, demonstrates that it is is relevant, and most the people there don't want conditions to get worse, just because some religious nut says so.
