*Free Speech Oz came into being because of growing opposition in the
Bellingen (NSW) and surrounding areas to the sedition provisions
contained in the Australian federal government's Anti Terrorism Act 2005
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Anti-Terrorism_Bill_2005>. Now
national and with an international readership, we are a non-violent
group and therefore seek to express our opposition through peaceful means.*
We are a growing group of Australian citizens from various walks of life
who hold the traditional democratic view that people have the right to
speak out on issues and to criticise and oppose the government, if they
so wish. We believe that governments do not have the right to arrest and
prosecute people who express disaffection or ill will towards the
government. A non-profit network, we are not affiliated to a political
party nor do we align ourselves with any religious or other organization.
