Australia has followed suit - with leads from : China, Russia and North Korea - free political expression is a crime in certain cases. It's very concerning - we shouldn't be following communist countries. Anything can be labelled as hate speech at the whim of the Govt.

It's a pity we probably won't be allowed to hear what the police deem to be "hate speech" in this case, so that we can decide for ourselves.

A court of law will decide, not the court of public opinion.

What Brian Ross means is that we don't have a piece of paper reassuring us that we have free speech. He is incorrect to suggest that a piece of paper is the only mechanism of achieving free speech. Nor can it even guarantee freedom of speech.

Anyone know what the bloke said?

That is correct.

The Americanisation of Australian society has led many of us to believe that we, like Americans, have a constitutional and near-absolute right to free speech.

Re: Neo-Nazi arrested over hate speech Reply #13 - Yesterday at 1:18pm So the "Jewish lobby groups" are responsible for a set of hate speech laws that specifically protects the right of Muslims to use their religion to promote the slaughter of Jews?

The high court disagrees and has ruled that we have on matters of politics and economics.

Quote:

Implied Freedom of Political Communication
The Australian Constitution (“the Constitution”) does not explicitly mention the phrase “freedom of speech” anywhere, however the High Court in Nationwide News Pty Ltd v Wills (1992) 177 CLR 1 and Australian Capital Television v Commonwealth (ACTV) (1992) 177 CLR 106 decided that the Constitution contained an implied right to freedom of communication on political matters.

Download our A3 Resource on the Implied Freedom of Communication

The judges who upheld the argument of an implied freedom of communication in the above cases were of the view that the freedom is implied by virtue of Australia’s system of representative government, as established by the Constitution.

Former Chief Justice of the High Court His Honour Justice Brennan observed in Nationwide News [at 47]:

“To sustain a representative democracy embodying the principles prescribed by the Constitution, freedom of public discussion of political and economic matters is essential: it would be a parody of democracy to confer on the people a power to choose their Parliament but to deny the freedom of public discussion from which the people derive their political judgments”.

Notwithstanding this case, there has been increasing concern in recent years that the implied right of political communication is being encroached upon.
