Free Speech
Free Speech may yet remain a bright point of democratic light. The ALRC has released its report and, as expected, recommends that the term Sedition be dropped and that laws governing free speech be kept separate from laws governing the urging of violence.
As usual the ALRC Release is concise and well written so there is no point in my paraphrasing. Click away and read it for yourselves.
There is also a publication "Fighting Words: A review of Sedition Laws in Australia". I haven't had a chance to read it yet - sorry I've been away which is why I'm a little behind with this posting. Chapter 8 is the one to look at. I've now opened up this blog so people can post comments. If anyone has any comments about the ALRC report or what happens next or recommendations for should happen next, please do so by clicking on "Add A Comment" below.
