The Price of Free Speech

If ever proof was needed that free speech is dead in Australia this is it. Anti-semite Frederick Toben has been jailed for exercising his right to free speech. Sadly Australian law does not recognise the right to free speech, a fact explicitly noted by Justice Lander in the Toben case.

Dusgusting as Toben's views are, they are not nearly as disgusting as the operation of the law in this case.
