I can see where this is going.

Free speech is only for minority groups, anyone else is banned of course.

Minority groups are made up of People who think they are victims. People who are offended by everything & people who are looking to have power over majority groups.

completely agree - free speech is integrally linked with other types of freedom. I also agree that harm (not offence) defines the limit of free speech. Mill's "On Liberty" advocates fiercely for free speech, but describes the boundary thus:

"... even opinions lose their immunity, when the circumstances in which they are expressed are such as to constitute their expression a positive instigation to some mischievous act. An opinion that corn-dealers are starvers of the poor, or that private property is robbery, ought to be unmolested when simply circulated through the press, but may justly incur punishment when delivered orally to an excited mob assembled before the house of a corn-dealer, or when handed about among the same mob in the form of a placard"

Not all free speech advocates are racist or homophobic. I have often defended gay rights in these forums (and racial equality, come to that). But from a (small-“l”) liberal perspective, it is because each individual is entitled to equal rights and equal dignity that, for example, I support marriage equality. For the same reasons, I also support the right of people to object to gay marriage, or to homosexulaity more generally, though I disagree with them.

Q&A is not an open forum. All questions by the audience are vetted by Tony Jones and the ABC. They like our Govts are owned and controlled by the banking ,military industrial complex.

Move beyond the lame stream media and know the truth. http://paulcraigroberts.org/ http://www.globalreserach.ca/

Arjay: All questions by the audience are vetted by Tony Jones and the ABC.

You are right Arjay. Actually I have said this before & got howled down for the comment. Before you get invited to precipitate you submit any Questions you want to ask. These are reviewed by the Station & if acceptable you get handed back your Question. The Panel knows about your Question before hand & who will ask it.

This makes for an orderly Programme going to Air, otherwise it would be a free for all & that wouldn't make good TV for the Public. Throw in an unruly mob of ratbags & it disrupts the tidiness, as you saw happen on the night. It really takes about 2 hours to make a half hour Programme of this type. They are produced well before going to Air so the Editors can do their thing, "Cut & Paste," It used to be, "cut & splice" when I was 17. I was a, "Applaud, Stop, Clap, Laugh" boy. A whole day to make half hour Musical Programme. Eg; Saturday Date.
