Free Speech and its Postmodern Adversaries
AbstractFree speech of the polity of Australia interweaves the whole fabric of this article and sometimes intertwines with a wholesome philosophy in Postmodernism that curbs Free speech. Our government, a trust, can be forfeited if public good is not delivered. This right of the citizenry is concomitant with this basic freedom which can only be taken away wherever there is a present danger of harm caused to the public by its exercise. The question of Free speech arises only when the other is bringing forth some dissident ideas. Free speech ensures that we are born free and equal, have rights of liberty, private property, inviolability of our persons, the ability to resist oppression and knowledge as sense-perception and reflection. It gives us the right to make laws and to use Free speech as a sword, and Liberty as a shield, alone or with others as a protective measure against abuse and misuse of political authority. |
