The lawyer for student activist Drew Pavlou has lodged a formal complaint with the University of Queensland (UQ), demanding that the Chinese consul-general of Brisbane be dismissed from an honorary position as adjunct professor after the university said that the diplomat’s behaviour was “unacceptable.”

UQ had told The Guardian a week prior that Consul-General Xu Jie’s controversial actions regarding a campus protest about Hong Kong in his diplomatic capacity would have amounted to a breach of its code of conduct.
