    I disagree with what Andrew Bolt said but the defamation suit against him alarms me for its potential impact on free speech and a free press

        @BernardKeane can I suggest an on-line petition? Free hate & defamatory speech for Andrew Bolt. I'm sure Freedom Timmy & the IPA would sign.

        @BernardKeane What's more troubling is that recourse via the courts is almost entirely available solely to the very well off.

        @BernardKeane I think the fact that people take his dribble seriously is the issue, not that he's allowed to publish it.

        @bernardkeane If he used facts and published opinions based on them he shouldn't have problem. Simple. Free speech isn't impacted.

        @BernardKeane getting your facts wrong, making false allegation against ppl & using this to attack a minority group doesn't = free speech.
