Freedom of expression and tolerance are considered core features of our democracy. How is free speech justified in Australia, and what laws are in place to protect people from defamation and discrimination such as racial vilification? Which speech deserves special protections and should some speech acts be punished? When does the right to freedom of expression become a right to offend? This book contains information from a range of sources and explores facts and opinions, providing the reader with a concise overview of the topic.
