Varghese
Michael Varghese is the chancellor of the University of Queensland, where he has been a prominent advocate for increasing Australia's expertise in Chinese studies. He has expressed concern over the dramatic decline in domestic graduates with qualifications in Chinese, deeming it a 'systemic failure' that could hinder Australia's strategic interests in Asia.
