The period for written submissions to the People's Inquiry has now closed, and the Inquiry panel has produced an interim report. So far, our findings indicate that there have been significant restrictions placed on campus free speech around Palestine, and both staff and students are being targeted for speaking out on the issue. The Inquiry panellists are looking to have further discussions with individuals and representatives of groups with experience or important knowledge about this dynamic.
Live hearings are a useful way for the panel to gather information about the scope of restrictions to speech and academic freedoms. We believe you have an important contribution for the panel to consider in producing their final report.
Public hearings will be held in person in Sydney and Melbourne and online in July. Please register below if you're interested in attending and we will be in touch to confirm dates and times.Â
