Description:
Australians have, to varying degrees, lost the right to free speech. Various laws and regulations have been passed abolishing free speech at a federal and state level. The courts have likewise ruled that Australia's implied freedom of political communication, implied in the constitution, does not apply to individuals or groups, only political communication as a whole.

01:37 Charities
02:07 Journalists

Without protection of free speech, there is a risk that Australia's democracy itself is at stake. Far from being a left or right wing issue, the right to free speech should be seen as something above politics, and indeed, paramount for a democratic society to function.

Thanks for talking about this
What an amazing video. Thankyou. This deservesmore views .
Excellent assessment.
The two I love are 1. Does Australia have free speech is in the new citizenship test AND the answer is not NO! OOPS 2. Everyone sites Australia has signed Human Rights treaties etc.. BUT no-one ever reads the fine print down the bottom that states Australia only abides by these treaties etc within the boundaries of The Australian Constitution!!!! Ergo NO FREE SPEECH!!!! Ooops sorry The High Court does agree that we have an IMPLIED right to "political communication" unless of course you're a public servant, work for a charity etc etc etc
Umbelievable! Did any political party contest this??

Only the minor parties, strangely. The two major parties haven't touched the topic.

@@joshuakrook1 strangely? The Greens and major parties are globalists and don't want Australians to be free.
