Australia: Free speech but don't mention politics -- says Leftist mayor
We read:
"POLICE have hauled three people out of a council meeting in Sydney's south-west, in what civil libertarians say is the latest example of local councils suppressing free speech and the right to protest. The officers were waiting at the entrance to Fairfield Council chamber on Tuesday before the Labor Mayor, Nick Lalich, forbade members of the gallery with political affiliations from speaking.
Cr Lalich, who is also the state Labor MP for Cabramatta, unilaterally resolved that those who were members of a political party could not participate in the community forum session at the start of the meeting.
When two residents - the president of the Australian Business Party, Joseph Adams, and the president of the Smithfield Young Liberals, Emmanuel Brikha - reacted angrily to being silenced, Cr Lalich ordered their removal from the chamber.
But the secretary of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, Stephen Blanks, said the actions were a clear breach of residents' rights to express their opinion.

Our Aussi friends had better be careful, else they'll turn into a fascist state like the US, where only speech approved by the far-left is allowed.
It's time the people armed themselves, heavily, and prepare to take their countries back. If you're not willing to fight for your freedom, you don't deserve any!
Anon 2:46, it looks like we will be seeing you in an orange jumpsuit on the 6:00PM news soon.
Given the recent events in the US, it looks like it's the liberals who need the guns to protect themselves, not the conservatives.
Anon 5:53,... only if they allow you to watch the news.
Anonymous 12:41, I'm sure the Army Recruiters were just SOOO Liberal....
QUOTABLE QUOTES
"As individuals, we occasionally do something stupid. However, true stupidity requires a group. This is why we elect a congress.”
It's amazing what the insane will come up with. A political event where anyone associated with a political party isn't allowed to speak?
That is so insane it's funny.
So presumably the Mayor forbade himself from speaking since he was currently a member of the Parliamentary ALP???
Actually, it is just ridiculous that a sitting State member can also serve as Mayor - that would be a huge problem balancing those two positions.
The Labor party here in Oz is the equal of any communist party anywhere in russia. They are out to destroy capitalism and democracy, and aussies keep voting for the bastards.
If the anonymous poster at 1:42 PM is referring to the Holocaust Museum shooter, it has come out that he was a Bush-hating, McCain-hating, Jew-hating Leftist. I do not find that surprising, considering how often Leftists side with criminals. Birds of a feather, flock together.
