Free Speech

Radio talk back hosts get a lot of freedom. But with freedom also comes responsibility. The debate this week over Alan Jones' comments re the Cronulla riots show how irresponsible he was, and sadly he has been able to thumb his nose at his critics - even getting a virtual "pat on the back" from the P.M. Yet, conversely when a Muslim cleric airs his views he is widely condemned. Their seems to be an unfair bias evident. If Alan J can have such wide freedom we can't the Mufti of Australia enjoy the same?
