A/P Gelber investigates a wide range of political expression to see how we value free speech: from different uses of the national flag, hate speech and anti-terrorism laws, to protest campaigns against corporate actions and art. A/P Gelber considers the laws and policies that regulate behaviour alongside the views of everyday Australians about these issues. What she finds is a political culture that is failing free speech. In Australia, powerful companies can silence dissent, and even peaceful protest can be difficult to carry out. <em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Speech Matters </span></em>tackles these controversial issues head-on, providing compelling reasons for why we should protect the types of speech that give everyone a voice in deciding how our country is run.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Speech Matters </span></em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>is the title of Associate Professor Gelber's most recently published book reporting on the results of a large-scale research project into the place of freedom of speech within Australian political culture.
