A story on the New Matilda website accused Professor Barry Spurr, who contributed to the Federal Government's national English curriculum review, of referring to Prime Minister Tony Abbott as an "Abo-lover" and Nelson Mandela as a "darky".
The website's editor, Chris Graham, described the emails as extreme hate-speech.
"He doesn't just object to Aboriginal people who he calls Abos and human garbage, he makes references to mussies; tinky-poos is a word that he uses frequently; he's very dismissive of women," he told the ABC's PM program.
