The French proverb quotes:” Autant de tête, autant d’avis”. In the democratic country always respects the free speech. Therefore, in the communist regime as China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba and the others have not, whoever talk and express the difference with communist policy, they would be punished by the bush law.
Australia is the democratic country, everyone has the different concern in the same matter, it is the free choice and free option. Nevertheless, the scientific subject, the study based on the results of multiple scientists, they measure and discuss the impact carefully before concluding. The mobile phone user’s health has been debated between the groups of a scientist with different issues, Soybean has the same argument about the good and bad.
However, James Cook University at Townville, Queensland has sacked Professor Peter Ridd who has a different concern about the climate change with the university. In August 2017, Professor Peter Ridd attended an interview with Alan Jones on Sky News about a chapter in his book” Climate Change”. Its book published by Institute of Public Affairs in 2017, in this chapter Professor Peter Wrote:” Policy science regarding the Great Barrier Reef is almost never checked” and he continued:” Over the next few years, the Australian Government will spend more than a billion dollars on the Great Barrier Reef; the costs to industry could far exceed this. Yet the keystone research papers have not been subjected to proper scrutiny. Instead, there is a total reliance on the demonstrably inadequate peer review process.”
Professor Peter Ridd could have his study and concern, even the James Cook University’s spokesman said:” strongly supports academic freedom”, therefore, this University sacked Professor Ridd. What is going on?. The Australian people doubt some” climate change’s supporters and activists” as Doctor Tim Flannery, in 2005 he predicted within next 10 years, the Eastern states will be faced the drought, indeed, the flood. The wrong predictability cost more than $AUD 10 billion for the desalted water plant. So the warning of Professor Peter Ridd is reasonable and responsible of a concerned scientist.
James Cook University’s Vice-Chancellor Sandra Harding may violate the free speech and the scientific study that needs the different issues before release applying. The Great Barrier Reef has studied carefully before putting a billion dollars of the taxpayers. As NBN, the Labor government wasted $AUD 65 billion but it becomes the national disaster because NBN could risk the life of Australian people when the Modem Router or NBN line is broken down which cause the landline telephone couldn’t call the emergency.
Vice Chancellor Sandra Harding behaves as the bush law in the communist countries, so Professor Peter Ridd has the rights to take the legal action against James Cook University’s staff and the education department reviews the case, it harms the national prestige./
