The Australian National University (ANU) has been criticised for reinstating a student expelled for supporting Hamas.

When the pro-Palestine encampment movement arrived at the ANU in April 2024, Beatrice Tucker, a student and member of the encampment, made headlines for stating during a radio interview that Hamas deserved “our unconditional support.”
