How Australians lost their right to free speech, with Josh Krook
About this episode
Update: Australiana is now Fire at Will - your safe space for dangerous conversations.
We now live in an age where words are violence. Where morality is assessed in Silicon Valley boardrooms instead of local communities. Where free speech is encumbered with so many legislative ifs and buts that it’s rapidly losing meaning.
The great tragedy is it feels like there are less and less people willing to stand up for a belief that previous generations fought and died for – the right to think and say what we believe. Host Will Kingston is joined by legal theorist Josh Krook to discuss how free speech in Australia is eroding before our eyes.
