Senator Malcolm Roberts has called on the federal government to cut funding to the University of Queensland if it continues to act as “an agent for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”

Roberts’ comments were in reference to the university’s actions against student activist Drew Pavlou and his subsequent suspension from the university for two years.
