Free speech should be free

Announcement posted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Australia 11 Jan 2021

Dear Editor,
 
Great to see the Deputy Prime Minister declaring his fervent support for freedom of speech, following the Twitter bans in the USA.
 
We wait with bated breath for his announcement that he will now fight to repeal all the “ag-gag” laws that the Federal and State governments have been enacting, the purpose of which is to deny free speech to those seeking to expose extreme examples of animal cruelty, neglect and violations of animal protection laws on Australian farms.
 
If we are one and free, let’s also be consistent and caring.
