Summary
Australian National University faces royal commission scrutiny over its handling of a pro-Palestine student encampment, with acting provost testifying the protest posed a “high” psychosocial risk but no loss of control. Security staff monitored the situation and encouraged students to leave voluntarily, leveraging personal connections to support wellbeing and prevent peer pressure. Allegations of Nazi salute and Hitler moustache gesture were debunked — no misconduct found, with the moustache deemed a personal habit and the salute unidentifiable from video. In response, ANU is rolling out new security protocols to better manage future protests, aiming to safeguard campus safety while navigating complex social and political tensions.
