A lawyer acting for two University of Sydney academics accused of racist hate speech has argued that the conflation of their criticism of the state of Israel with hatred of Jews is “quite audacious”.
The argument was heard in the federal court on Tuesday as part of a racial discrimination case taken by three academics against two of their colleagues and the university, in what is being considered a major test case for hate speech in Australia.
