The Australian Constitution does not expressly protect the freedom of expression.
However there’s plenty of legislation that limits freedom of expression, including defamation, anti-vilification, classification and censorship laws and the treason and urging violence offences.
If I’m to understand our politicians they reckon it’s currently illegal to have an anti-Israel protest but legal to have a pro-Palestine protest, despite the fact they’re the same thing.
Possibly a tad oxymoronic to have a pro-protest, so in effect all protests are currently illegal.
I’m thinking it’s worth promoting a pro-free speech protest.
I can’t figure out what would happen?
