The Education Minister tells Sky News the government could legislate the intent of its free speech code for universities.

Mr Tehan said if Sally Walker, now reviewing universities implementation of the Robert French code, said legislation is needed, “we will look very seriously at that.”

Which is pretty much what he said a year back (CMM June 19 2019).

It’s a great way to ensure the policy issues universities want on the agenda aren’t (CMM yesterday). As Mortien put it, “when you are on a good thing, stick to it”.
