Calls for Peter Dutton-led Liberals to put ‘free speech back on the agenda’
Sky News host Rita Panahi says it is time for the Peter Dutton-led Liberals to put “free speech back on the agenda”.
Ms Panahi’s comments come as Greens Deputy Leader Mehreen Faruqi is “suing One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson” over comments that Faruqi has labelled as the “ultimate racist slur”.
“Faruqi is alleging the comment made on X, former Twitter, by Hanson is in breach of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act which makes it unlawful to offend, insult, humiliate, or intimidate someone with race-based comments,” Ms Panahi said.
“It’s a case that has huge significance for free speech in this country with some fine legal minds arguing 18C is unconstitutional.
“I have long argued 18C should be abolished.
“Tony Abbott had a mandate to repeal section 18C in 2013, but thanks to the cancerous moderates within the Liberal Party threatening to cross the floor, he dumped the planned changes the following year.
“He has since said the failure to amend the Racial Discrimination Act was among the biggest mistakes of his time in office.
“It's time the Peter Dutton-led Liberals put free speech back on the agenda.”

@@kenbehrens5778 Seriously? Attacking someone who cannot defend themselves and accusing them of things they were not responsible for seems wrong. Queen Elizabeth the 2nd was a spokesperson and head of the Church of England. During her reign, the empire was dismantled, which had begun during her father's reign. Two hundred and fifty years ago, the then-people in charge of England ended slavery in the empire and also outside the empire. People who complain about past slavery are way behind the times.

What's a "two party preferred system"? We have preferential voting, if that's what you mean, which results in multiple parties, such as Labor, Liberals, Nationals, One Nation, United Australia, Greens, and so on. So it's not a two-party system either, even though there are two who dominate. And preferential voting is a good, democratic, way of voting.

When you have laws that can claim anything you say is " offensive " and can be sued or put in jail. Then there is NO Freedom of speech.
