Freedom of Speech in Australia

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

What are the laws protecting and restricting freedom of speech in Australia? From defamation, trying to ban the communist party, the racial discrimination act, 90s High Court cases, television broadcast regulations, to government secrecy laws - I dive into the broad and often misunderstood topic of freedom of speech in Australia. There's a lot to say! First off: we don't have a 1st amendment ensuring freedom of speech as a constitutional right. That's an American thing.    Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplained   Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388   Get a copy of the script here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_7T0rKRKusyZiO09d1RPJ44tTIlG1QYL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102352521871694219008&rtpof=true&sd=true    Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the video was filmed and edited on. This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
