WATCH LIVE: Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak at the White House; Chris Minns says Jo Haylen’s work did not justify a government driver. Follow live updates.
A Macqaurie University academic who posted an antisemitic Tweet the day after the October 6 attacks on Israel and then continued to make multiple inflammatory public anti-Zionist statements is still on staff at the university, its vice chancellor Bruce S Dowton has told a human rights parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism on university campuses.
However, he did say the university was actively engaged in an inquiry into Dr Abdel-Fattah’s statements with the Australian Research Council. The academic is employed at the university as a research fellow as a result of a $300,000 project grant into Muslim youth in the aftermath of 9/11. Professor Dowton explained that if there had been a complaint made against Dr Abdel-Fattah’s statements, then there would be a process through the enterprise agreement to deal with it.
