A recent report found that racism is widespread within Australian universities, with 70% of students and staff experiencing indirect racism, and higher rates among Palestinian and Jewish individuals. In other news, Angus Taylor, a leading member of the opposition party, has disavowed a leaked immigration policy developed under Sussan Ley. The policy proposed banning migrants from specific regions of 13 countries and expediting the removal of up to 100,000 asylum seekers and student visa holders. Taylor claims he was unaware of the plan, stating it lacked validity as it had not been presented to the shadow cabinet. He emphasized the need to ensure immigrants do not threaten Australia's way of life or bring violence to the country.
