Representatives from Australian universities on Friday 9th July 2021 submitted their responses to the Australian Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, suggesting students from surveillance states be allowed to submit all of their essays on paper, not just politically obvious issues.
The Committee chair, Senator James Paterson suggested, a number of states have “ a range of sensitivities that you can’t always anticipate and students, I think quite reasonably, have anxieties about electronic submission because some of them come from authoritarian, technological surveillance states and that option might be of comfort to them.”
