There’s something surprising about OUR RIGHTS TO FREE (POLITICAL) SPEECH Sydney’s protest laws have been tightening, bit by bit, for years. Recently, though, a little pushback came from the NSW Supreme Court which struck down a Minns government ban on protest near places of worship as contravening our constitutional rights to free (political) expression. Did you even know we had such rights. Professor Emeritus Simon Rice OAM is a Sydney expert on protest law. He joins us this week on THE SYDNEYIST to discuss the legal constraints on protest and opinion, and how these have changed. LISTEN UP, LISTEN IN!
