Australia is no longer considered a freedom loving country | Australia Censored

In this episode of Australia Censored, award-winning journalist and Washington DC correspondent for The Australian newspaper, Adam Creighton, talks with Institute of Public Affairs Director of Law and Policy, John Storey, on why Australia has lost its reputation as a freedom loving country. John and Adam discuss the recent decision by Australia's eSafety Commissioner to seek to censor footage of a knife attack of a bishop in a Sydney church, the Murphy v Missouri United States’ Supreme Court case focused on the First Amendment, and the debate over the whether there are benefits of a constitutionally enshrined bill of rights. Australia Censored is a series which brings together leading thinkers to discuss the federal government’s proposed new internet censorship laws, the importance of freedom of speech, and how the political class and elites are trying to silence mainstream opinion online. The solution to misinformation is free speech, not unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies with vague powers which grant them the ability to determine what Australians should and should not be able to say, see and think.
