Paul Walter "People just don't grasp the menace people like Brandis pose. The IPA agenda filters down to its adherents in positions of power, like Deans and suppression masked as free speech is becoming the norm."

Brandis and the IPA have almost no influence on university curricula, lecturers and tutors. The IPA and the Liberals (Brandis) are objects of critique and ridicule in universities. The real problem, as has been highlighted, is a militant left-wing that has routinely censored and marginalised opposing views. The right/conservatives have only recently decided to give the left a taste of their own medicine. Expect more of this, much more; because the right/conservatives have learnt to throw the left's tactics back in their faces: Alinsky rule 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
