Dave Oneegs on Cafe Locked Out's Last Show of the Year

With no show tomorrow night, this will be Cafe Locked Out's last show for 2022.But with so much going on, it's like we need two shows a day to keep up.PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITIONhttps://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stop-censoring-australiansStop Censoring Australians on Social MediaThe Australia I grew up in offered its citizens two fundamental freedoms that if you had the courage to use gifted you a third and precious freedom. The first two were Freedom of Choice and Freedom of Speech. Exercised, these two parents gave you the Freedom to be Yourself, which created diversity, and in a democracy diversity is what gives its culture its beauty and strength.People who are free are free to dream and chase their dreams, and history shows us that countries where the people are free to do this, are known as lucky countries. They are symbols of hope for the world.These fundamental freedoms are the reason so many asylum seekers risk their and their children's lives trying to reach here.These freedoms used to be so coveted that in every town and suburb across the country there are shrines to those who fought and died defending these liberties.I believe allowing people to speak freely is healthy for the community. It prevents the build up of unhealthy tensions that censorship cultivates. Rigorous civil debate is far better at repairing social problems and bridging divides than forced silence. Australians used to be famous for disagreeing and still being the one people.MORE HERE . . .https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stop-censoring-australiansHappy New Year From Cafe Locked Out This is a public episode.
