“We’re deeply disturbed by comments made by one of our casual academic staff, we find them utterly unacceptable and we’re taking immediate action, including suspending their employment pending further assessment. 

"Hate speech has no place at our University and we have no hesitation in taking disciplinary action when our codes of conduct are breached.

"Support is available for every member of our community who may need it.”
