The Australian National Review defends the right of free speech as a cornerstone of a democratic civil society; however, we do not support speech that incites violence or hatred against individuals or groups, including minorities. Nor do we support those that commit war crimes, such as dropping bombs on innocent men, women, and children to steal their land and then lie about it, or extremists who support such dangerous propaganda, or those remaining silent about such atrocities. We also don’t support those who fail to research the truth and continually fall for mainstream media and government propaganda and are easily manipulated into the obviously false narratives that are pushed almost every day. We believe everyone has the duty and obligation to research the truth, know the truth, and to speak it.
