September Discussion: The Voice. Free Speech. The Misinformation Bill. And what’s wrong with Australia right now.

6.15 for a 6.30pm start - 50 Logan Road, Woolloongabba.

Join The University of Queensland’s Garrick Professor of Law for a lively discussion on Law and Liberty on Tuesday September 5th.
Professor Allan has published widely in the areas of legal philosophy and constitutional law, including in all the top English language legal philosophy journals in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia, much the same being true of constitutional law journals as well.

Professor Allan also has a sideline interest in bills of rights; he is opposed to them. Indeed he is delighted to have moved to a country without a national bill of rights. He has been actively involved in the efforts trying to stop one from being enacted here in Australia.

Professor Allan's latest book Democracy in Decline was published in 2014. He also writes widely for newspapers and weeklies, including The Australian, The Spectator Australia and Quadrant, and since arriving here in Australia he has given or participated in more than 80 lectures, debates and talks.
