The idea
Scrap all laws which restrict freedom of speech.The Electorate is made up of all types of folk, and some will allways be abusive..you cannot legislate against human nature.The last Govt. attempted social engineering on a huge scale, and banked on minority votes by allowing them more freedoms than others. It has stifled debate and built up resentment.If we want an equal and fair society, then ALL of society must be treated the same, and those who expect or already enjoy special privilages should learn to shoulder offence and partake in debate..it is more than offensive that huge swathes of a so called democratic country are silenced for political ambitions.
Why is it important?
Important?..It's vital, or is it considered democratic to stifle debate?
