Article here. Excerpt:
'A workshop at one of Australia's top universities discussed banning white male students who look like Liberal Party voters from speaking in class.
The seminar titled How Privilege Manifests in Tutorials was held last week by the University of Melbourne Student Union.
Attendees discussed ways to make tutorials and lectures more inclusive by encouraging women, transgender, foreign and gay people to speak up more.
One proposal was to ban 'white, male students' and 'students resembling Liberal voters' from speaking.
This caused outrage among members of the student Liberal Club.
Thomas Carlyle-James, 21, said it was unfair to paint this stereotype of Liberal voters.'
