| Message | Mr. Speaker, The current law of the land prohibits the publishing of falsehoods. But who, I ask, gets to determine what is true and what is false?! Surely we do not want to give agents of the national government that power?! The dangers of government abuse in determining what is true and what is false are too great. We ask this House to free our media. Peter Knox MP for Axminster South New Liberal Health and Social Services Critic |
