Freedom of speech ‘is the property of the left of politics’

Freedom of speech “is the property of the left” in Australia, while those on the other side of politics are “vilified, demonised and intimidated in order to be silenced,” according to Sky News host Alan Jones.

“I suppose it’s no use saying that, as a nation, we must protect freedom of speech if you don’t practice it,” Mr Jones said.

He said those on the left of politics “can say whatever they like about you and get away with it”.

Mr Jones was critical of NSW Labor MP Shaoquett Moselmane for his recent praise of China’s President Xi Jinping.

Mr Moselmane had praised Preisdent Xi’s “unswerving leadership” in his attempts to handle the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

“Most knowledgeable people would say instead that China has betrayed the world,” Mr Jones said.

“It did not notify the world that a crisis was upon us,” he said.

“It seems the ideological enemy in this country is alive and well, some of them are well paid members of our parliament”.
