Senator for South Australia Cory Bernardi has expressed deep concern after reports in The Epoch Times and The Australian exposed Victoria University’s conflicting statements about why they abruptly cancelled a screening of a documentary exposé of China’s state-run Confucius Institutes.
“I’m concerned about our national security, our economic security, and the influence that the Chinese Communist Party is having in our country ... and not only with Confucius Institutes,” Senator Bernardi wrote in an email to The Epoch Times on Sept. 24.
