Abstract
Freedom of Political Communication in Australia: The Aid/Watch Case
Highlights
The right to freedom of political communication is central to democratic life – without it, representative democracy is seriously debilitated
In Australia its existence rests on the High Court interpretation of the Australian Constitution, and its extension across political life is subject to case law
If a case is brought to the High Court and won on the basis of the ‘implied’ freedom, can it come to life as a meaningful entitlement
Summary
The right to freedom of political communication is central to democratic life – without it, representative democracy is seriously debilitated. In Australia its existence rests on the High Court interpretation of the Australian Constitution, and its extension across political life is subject to case law. This Special Issue of the Cosmopolitan Civil Societies Journal deals with a recently successful initiative to claim freedom of political communication, in the arena of charitable advocacy.
