Betteridge's Law of Headlines applies. Lesh is a creature of the "Institute for Public Affairs". The 'donors' section of their wikipedia page makes good reading: "he IPA has been significantly funded by Hancock Prospecting, of which Gina Rinehart is the Executive Chair. Hancock Prospecting paid the IPA $2.3 million in financial year 2016 and $2.2 million in financial year 2017,[31] which represents one-third to a half of the IPA's total revenue in those years.[32] These payments were not disclosed in IPA annual reports,[33] and Rinehart's daughter Bianca Hope Heyward submitted in court that the Hancock Prospecting payments were credited to Rinehart in an individual capacity.[31] Gina Rinehart was made a life member of the IPA in November 2016.[34] Other businesses who fund or have funded the IPA include ExxonMobil,[35] Telstra, WMC Resources, BHP Billiton, Philip Morris,[36] Murray Irrigation Limited,[37] Visy Industries, Clough Engineering, Caltex, Shell, Esso[3] and British American Tobacco (BAT).[3] Funders are able to "earmark" their payments to support the work of particular units within the IPA.[38]" Given that monstering people for unwanted academic speech is hardly an exclusive pastime of those on the left (some claim the reverse, see https://medium.com/informed-and-engaged/campus-speech-protests-dont-only-target-conservatives-though-they-frequently-target-the-same-few-bda3105ad347 https://medium.com/informed-and-engaged/campus-speech-protes...) the slant of this article is pretty interesting, especially where we get to: "Universities are facilitating a self-destructive culture not only through speech codes, but in teaching simplistic theories about human society. Academics far too often pursue social justice causes over empirical inquiry." I'm figuring "simplistic theories about human society" and "pursuing social justice causes over empirical inquiry" are dog-whistle code for the type of campus activity Lesh would like to magically see less of. But in some mysterious "pro free speech" way, right?
