Very true, max1.
The current huge divide between managers and doers is harming businesses everywhere. Until each group starts to trust and respect each other, inefficient, stupid ideas from people with no real world experience will continue to fail despite the doers' best attempts to warn them, staff will be demotivated and bitter and they will continue to voice their frustration wherever they can.
According to all the above comment Freedom of Speech is a Myth.
Correct. Show me an Act of Parliament that guarantees your freedom of speech. Don't say the Constitution, because it doesn't.

Australia has no Bill of Rights and Australians have no inherent, inalienable rights to anything. There are certain legislated rights provided by Acts of Parliament such as the right to remain silent et al (Crimes Act 23F-W) and workplace rights as listed above, but you only get those 'rights' because the government has granted them by legislation. Theoretically, they could all be repealed the next time parliament sits. Australians solidly voted against the bill of rights proposal included in the 1988 referendum.
While the country is signatory to a number of UN conventions, the UN has no legal power to enforce compliance and about the worst thing they can do is throw your country out of the UN.
