Leftist trolls have lied about me ever since I made my first post to social media in July 2022 challenging abortion up to birth laws in Australia. If you follow these trolls or watch their content and they say "Joanna Howe was forced to unpublish her paper by Adelaide Uni", you should unfollow them as they are lying outright. And now I'm fighting back against Adelaide Uni for taking the side of unhinged radical left activists instead of allowing me to undertake research and advocacy on controversial issues that are out of step with left-wing ideology. Not a single allegation against me relates to research or teaching misconduct. I have always been one of the top teachers and researchers in the Law School, winning awards and prizes across both core areas of being an academic. I was even promoted to Professor and received two ARC grants before the age of 40, both of which are atypical in the Law discipline. The only reason I'm now facing these relentless investigations, allegations and legal letters is because I refuse to comply with the left's religious position on abortion, Islam, gender, climate and prostitution. These are all sacred cows I've taken on in my time at the Law School since 2022. Prior to 2022 I was feted and loved and promoted because my research and advocacy were on migrant worker exploitation, which was a position that the left agreed with. I don't think universities should persecute staff and students who disagree with the left. I think the idea of a university should be predicated on the pursuit of truth and knowledge. Academic freedom and free speech on campus and in scholarship are critical to the achievement of this goal.

James Ashby nailed it. The so-called "conservative" media in this country is a joke.
