I fail to see why you would demand "Freedom of Speech" here. This is a privately held and operated website.
If a Bill before the Australian Parliament gets up, it will be illegal to offend anyone at all, including on a forum like this.
The test will be whether a persaon feels that they have been 'unfavourably treated'. This treatmewnt does not have to result in any measurable disadvantage - it is enough if the person feels 'offended'.
The onus is on the 'accused' to prove that their behaviour was not offensive.
s.19 Discrimination by unfavourable treatment
(1) A person (the first person) discriminates against another person if the first person treats, or proposes to treat, the other person unfavourably because the other person has a particular protected attribute, or a particular combination of 2 or more protected attributes.
To avoid doubt, unfavourable treatment of the other person includes (but is not limited to) the following: (a) harassing the other person; (b) other conduct that offends, insults or intimidates the other person.
There is a list of over 20 separate 'protected attributes' about which it will be illegal to be offensive, including race, gender, employment, social origin, education, appearance, health and medical issues, religion, political opinion etc etc.
It's also possible for a person to be 'offended' if statements are made about their 'associates', ie members of their family.
Punishment will be fines, restraint orders, and compulsory attendance at 'retraining courses'.
As the promoter of the bill, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon says: "The Bill will help everyone understand what behaviour is expected."
Roxon is on a roll, having recently beaten Big Tobacco by having cigarette packets sold in Australia painted black with dire health warnings on them.
She is also a fat-arsed crypto-fascist with little law and less politics whose idea of a good time is a quiet game of cribbage.
