Modern democratic states must protect freedom of expression while also responding to the harms caused by hateful, violent and dangerous form of speech - a problem accentuated by increasing racial, religious and ethnic conflict and the threat of (and responses to) terrorism. The project is important because it aims to develop a theory of freedom of expression that - free from the distorting influence of the United States jurisprudence - can explain and guide the courts in other democratic countries. Its comparative and theoretical innovation will place Australian scholarship at the forefront of a central problem in modern political life and enrich scholarly and public debate.

现代民主国家必须保护言论自由，同时应对仇恨、暴力和危险言论形式造成的危害——种族、宗教和民族冲突的加剧以及恐怖主义威胁（和应对措施）加剧了这一问题。 该项目很重要，因为它旨在发展一种言论自由理论，不受美国判例的扭曲影响，可以解释和指导其他民主国家的法院。其比较和理论创新将使澳大利亚学术处于现代政治生活中心问题的前沿，并丰富学术和公共辩论。
