Description

Katharine Gelber & Adrienne Stone (eds), Hate Speech and Freedom of Speech in Australia (Federation Press, 2007, ISBN 9781862876538, AUS$49.95, xvii + 238 pages) The title of this excellent collection of essays hits on something important about hate speech in Australian political and legal culture. 'Hate Speech and Freedom of Speech in Australia' implicitly recognises that the former--whilst clearly a form of speech--is a distinct phenomenon that mostly undercuts rather than promotes the public and personal good said to flow from freedom of speech more generally: truth discovery, self-government and personal autonomy. (1) In other words, to 'get serious about freedom of expression' (2) does not necessarily entail political tolerance of and legal protection for hate speech.
