This is just the next step in a long, concerted and pretty shameful campaign by the Liberals, and in particular Senator Henderson, to silence dissent and protest on our university campuses. Protest has, historically and always, been a core part of democracy on university campuses, and students have been at the forefront of so many social movements, from justice for Palestine, to climate justice, to First Nations justice and everything in between. Attempts to control and silence students should never be tolerated. The Greens will not tolerate this, and we will be opposing these amendments.
