Nic Smith: Victoria University Vice-Chancellor addresses postponed free speech event
Victoria University's Vice-Chancellor has his own concerns over an infamous free speech panel event.
A selection of public figures and academics were set to debate free speech, but backlash within the university led to the event being postponed.
Vice-Chancellor Nic Smith says it's a 'travesty' that people are no longer willing to listen and draw their own conclusions.
"That's an issue that I've seen across multiple media - we create bubbles where everyone wants to agree with each other and shout in these polarised extremes."

Te Whatu Ora has been criticised for telling public hospitals to bring the organisation back to budget, they need to make target savings of $105 million by July.
It said several districts have gone over budget in the past three months.
However, health unions have warned the constraints will impact medical care.
Former Te Whatu Ora chair Rob Campbell says we should be trying to improve our health system - not just saving costs.
"Once you get the emphasis on just saving costs, you end up cutting things that should not be cut."
