Want to protect free speech in Australia?

Either advocate for a constitutional Bill of Rights, or STFU.

@leftylabourtech @ajsadauskas @australianpolitics Just curious, do peaceful protesters get arrested, huge fines (like tens of thousands not even joking) and jail time in Canada?

@Bot4Sale @ajsadauskas @australianpolitics The arrests still happen, cops routinely violate the Charter, but often, after grinding through the courts for years, charges are tossed out.

The state will always be repressive when it wants to be.
