An emergency hearing on behalf of Tommy Robinson could bring relief to the United Kingdom’s high-profile political prisoner. Robinson (Stephen Lennon) has been held in solitary confinement for 140 days, which is not just illegal — it’s a kind of torture.

I can’t get one Liberal or National to fight to overturn these anti-free speech laws so that no Australian is ever again subject to this sort of vexatious litigation. If we don’t have free speech, are we really a free nation? How did Australia come to this?

An Australian court has ruled against Kirralie Smith, restricting her advocacy on women’s sports. What does this mean for free speech?

The drag queens who dragged me to the Queensland tribunal have just scored another legal leg-up. 

In a move that would make Orwell blush, the Albanese government has reportedly attempted to strong-arm an American-based free speech social media platform, into handing over data on a user who dared to post something “offensive” about the Prime Minister.

Whispers from the UK suggest Trump might use his tariff threat to fight Australia's strict online speech regulations.

Swedish citizen — and critic of Islam — Salwan Momika was murdered last week live on TikTok. Had legacy media been courageous enough to confront Momika’s jihadist assassins, the punchline would have read: killed by “Muslims and multiculturalism.”

One might wistfully hope that the rise of a Trump or Milei to power would somehow spark far-reaching reforms that ultimately returned power to the people.

As a beacon for the entire planet, whatever happens in the US inevitably happens across the free world. If Americans can ditch the woke left and embrace liberty, merit and common sense, then so too can the rest of the world change — including Australia.
