Manage episode 415025951 series 3381527
Victoria University's Vice-Chancellor has his own concerns over an infamous free speech panel event.
A selection of public figures and academics were set to debate free speech, but backlash within the university led to the event being postponed.
Vice-Chancellor Nic Smith says it's a 'travesty' that people are no longer willing to listen and draw their own conclusions.
"That's an issue that I've seen across multiple media - we create bubbles where everyone wants to agree with each other and shout in these polarised extremes."
