David Pocock says the Australian National University appears to have misled Parliament on multiple occasions and that its repeated failures to disclose, misinterpret or withhold key information raise serious questions about integrity and governance.
Pocock, an independent senator for the ACT, who first accused ANU of misleading the Senate early last month, claimed there now “appears to be a pattern of providing inaccurate information to the Australian Senate by the leadership at our national university”.
An earlier version of the article incorrectly named ANU chief operating officer Jonathan Churchill as Jonathan Chancellor. The article has been updated. Comment from an ANU spokesman regarding the September 2021 procurement of a speech by Murray Hansen has also been added.
