“unlike the USA”

You believe the myth.

There is no real free speech in the USA.
There is free speech if you do not stray off the official line.

Speak about religion and see what will happen at school to your kid or to you at work, if you work for a Republican government.

And dont think the USA president believes in free speech himself. His best friend/ally is the Saudi king. The king will have you hanged if you speak againt the monarchy system of government.

This is unbelieveable – seriously – for a moment there I thought this country was a democracy – turns out all along it was a dictatorship – this is truley outrageous – shame ARIA didnt think of that when they went after Kazaa –ah, your honour, the Kazaa site has mp3s on there – thats a bit too similiar to our site….

and whats worse is that his host agreed without even consulting him or giving him a chance to respond.

unlike the USA and other countries we do not have a constitutional right to free speech – what we have is a very narrow IMPLIED right to POLITICAL speech – even our BS law would consider this wrong

SUE!!! SUE!!! SUE!!!!

‘…it was shut down in response to a request from the prime minister’s office because it, “looked too similar to its own site”.’

Looked too similar my arse. Censorship.
