[QUOTE]Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce has pulled out of an appearance on the ABC's Q&A program after the Prime Minister ordered frontbenchers boycott the show, a spokesman says. Mr Joyce was scheduled to appear on the program tomorrow night but notified the show's producers this evening he would not be appearing. A spokesman for Mr Joyce said he pulled out of the program after Tony Abbott decided no frontbencher would be allowed to take part. ... Mr Joyce's withdrawal from the program comes hours after he confirmed on the ABC's Insiders program he would be appearing, saying it would be "interesting". "I think having Mr Mallah on that program was an absurdity," he told Insiders host Barrie Cassidy. "We have to understand that we don't want certain views. "Especially if it comes with ... the destruction and the maiming of other human beings. "Just because they have these views, doesn't mean they have the right to express them on the national broadcaster." Mr Joyce said he thought the ABC was "dealing with that issue now". "I think that is proper," he said.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-05/barnaby-joyce-pulls-out-of-qanda-amid-ban-reports/6596576[/URL] Love when people say the ABC isn't fairly representing the Liberals and then when they invite the liberals they pull out anyway
[QUOTE]"We have to understand that we don't want certain views.[/QUOTE] What is a freedom of expression? [editline]5th July 2015[/editline] Or maybe not I'm not sure what that dude said on the show, gimme a moment to read up on the case. [editline]5th July 2015[/editline] Yeah what he said seems largely within what should be acceptable to voice. Seems Abbot is a poop as per usual.
It's Australia, we technically don't have free speech. It's just implied.
oh my god what a child
Unfortunately for Tony reality is biased against him. Time to cut reality's funding.
He already did, he cut mental health funding a while ago. Too bad, he needs it badly.
[QUOTE=reevezy67;48126312]It's Australia, we technically don't have free speech. It's just implied.[/QUOTE] Ironically, we have the implied right to freedom of political communication. ...where politicians [I]forfeit[/I] said right.
[QUOTE=reevezy67;48126312]It's Australia, we technically don't have free speech. It's just implied.[/QUOTE] We really need to get on with creating a constitutional bill of rights like the new Zealanders did.
If we did that with the current government we would all get the right to shoot immigrants.
