Episode notes

My guest today is University of Queensland law professor Jim Allan.

Today we discuss:

- Whether recent proposals by Angus Taylor's Liberal Party and Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party to ban the burning of the Australian flag would be constitutional

- Other matters before the Australian High Court such as the ban on the "White Australia Party" and Pauline Hanson bid to overturn hate speech laws

- What his views are on "Common Good Constitutionalism" promoted by people like Harvard Professor Adrian Vermeule

- And why he remains unconvinced about the value of bills of rights

And much more
