Such silly Wallies, thinking we live in the USA or somewhere like that. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Brian, apologise: https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/House_of_Representatives/About_the_House...What are the values of democracy?There are five key values of democracy: Respect for individuals and their right to make their own choices. Tolerance of differences and opposing ideas. Equity—valuing all people and supporting them to reach their full potential. Each person has freedom of speech, association, movement and freedom of belief. Justice—treating everyone fairly, in society and in court. Where is that enshrined in Legislation, Bobby? Tsk, tsk, tsk... They are five key values of democracy on the Govts own website. [/ Imaterial, Bobby, until it is actually written down as part of legislation, it is a worthless piece of web garbage. Until you show me a link to what it is part of legislation, Australians have only five rights - Freedom of Religion, right to vote, The acquisition of property by the Australian Government must be ‘on just terms’, Trial by jury for some offences, State parliaments can not discriminate against non-residents of that state, Only courts have the power to find people guilty of an offence. The High Court further found that there are implied rights such as the Australian Parliament can not pass a law that would impose a criminal conviction, Freedom of political communication because the Constitution created a system of government based on representative democracy.[ Source]. Nowhere is there a Freedom of Speech right codified for Australian citizens or residents. Run along you pseudo-American. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
