FreeSpeech Debate 7pm Thursday 2nd July
Brothers and Sisters.
On July 2nd, which is Thursday next week – the Kieth Locke Memorial debate is happening 7pm at Auckland University Law school, moderated by Professor Jane Kelsey.
This years moot is Hate Speech Laws threaten Free Speech.
The negative Team will be captained by Listener Columnist Simon Wilson with Anjum Rahman and Yasmine Serhan
And the Affirmative team will be captained by myself, Stuff columnist Verity Johnston and civil rights lawyer Thomas Beagle.
Finally, a free speech debate that doesn’t include those arseholes from the Free Speech Union
It will be an amazing night, there are limited tickets left at the Auckland University Law school venue, to get the last remaining tickets, please go to keithlocke.org.nz to book them or watch the livestream feed we will set up on The Daily Blog and maybe the new editor of The Post can get stuff to carry the debate on their front page live on the night as well.
Get your tickets, it will be a great debate and a beautiful way to remember and honour Kieth Locke.
Hate speech is censorship in sheep’s clothing, as is the social media ban. With the world purposely being torn apart, the need for greater censorship is a top priority for the corrupted political class that rules the West, if not the entire world.
