Well, that was another depressingly terrible week for free speech in this country as political correctness and identity politics stayed on their winning rolls. There were two big items in the news. First off, there was the government’s capitulation on trying to do something about 18C. Basically, as soon as the Senate refused to pass what were in all honesty pretty emasculated proposals for change (weak that is by the standards of any of us who care about free speech, so that rules out upwards of half of the Coalition party room), Team Turnbull capitulated.
