Want to protect free speech in Australia?

Either advocate for a constitutional Bill of Rights, or STFU.

Depends. What are you trying to achieve? The US has constitutional protection for freedom of speech, but it doesn't seem to prevent police aggressively breaking up protests they don't like.

There are other things I think are more of a priority. For example, I would rather have strong media laws that prevent the mega-rich from using the media as de facto cheerleaders for their political interests.
