Default Freedom of Speech on Political Matters?

In either case this no one should be permitted to post potentially defamatory material of this nature without at least making their identity known by populating their profile with relevant details.

As far as I can see this has not been done and accordingly the post should be removed.

I don't know who iconoclast is, but will state the obvious just to set the record straight.

The views expressed by posters of this site are solely their own and do not reflect the views and opinions of this site itself, nor are such views or opinions endorsed by this site. No warranty is made by this site regarding the truthfulness or otherwise of posts made by users of this site.

As of yet no request to have any posts moderated have been made to be, but I haven't yet checked my email today. If such a request is made I will consider the merits, and take action if it is warranted. That said I tend to be conservative about such things and will endeavour not to 'over moderate' as is done on other chess bulletins.

To paraphrase the High Court of Australia and the great jurist Dawson, there is an implied freedom of speech in the Australian Constitution allowing, at the very least, unhampered discussion to take place relating to matters of a political nature.
