Episode notes

My guest today is Louise Clegg, a lawyer, a political commentator, and someone who has also been critic of the national conservative movement.

Today we discuss:

- The state of freedom of speech in Australia.

- Her views on whether we should introduce a US-style 1st amendment here

- Her views on the constitutional validity of burning the Australian flag, banning statements like “from the river to the sea”, restrictions on nationalist political parties

- Whether Pauline Hanson will succeed in her High Court challenge against 18C

And much much more
