Hello,

An open invitation to our opposition to participate in a free speech debate

At last year's Sydney Forum, a small group of protestors assembled outside the Forum displaying a variety of banners, including one that said “Hate Speech is not Free Speech”. We at the Sydney Forum do not believe that the Forum constitutes “hate speech”, in fact we wonder what the term “hate speech” really means or what the use of the term is intended to accomplish. We believe that this is a subject worthy of discussion, and at this year's Sydney Forum we are holding a debate on the following topic:

Hate Speech – Cunning censorship or real concern?

The Sydney Forum organisers will nominate a person to argue the case for “Cunning Censorship”, and we invite the public to nominate someone to argue the case for “Real Concern”. We especially welcome nominations from groups/persons who have been most vocal in condemning and trying to shut down the Sydney Forum.

The forum organisers reserve the right to select this person from the list of nominees, and will select someone whom we consider to be academically and intellectually qualified to argue the case. If in the opinion of the organisers, no suitable candidate has emerged, the reasons for this will be stated and an address on Hate Speech will be given at the Forum and be duly published.

Nominations for parties interested in arguing the case for "Real Concern" close on 1 August 2010, and the names of both debaters will be revealed on 2 August.

The audience members will vote on which argument “won” the debate.

All audience members must be paid ticket holders attending the 2010 Sydney Forum and must abide by the forum rules of respecting the speakers' right to talk without being interrupted or heckled. The same applies to audience questions.

We ask that you distribute this flyer widely to publicise the event, thank you!

Further information about the debate and the Sydney Forum can be found on the Sydney Forum website.

Thank you
get fucked

Thank you for the perfect text book reply as to why we need to have this debate.

We dont need to have this debate with you,


Dr. Jim Saleam - a prominent nationalist activist, theorist and writer, he has spoken at every Forum on different themes. Jim was the co-organiser with Welf Herfurth in the Forum's foundation.

Im sorry but we hold no platform policy for racists or facists.

Jim Saleam is a formerly in the national socialist of Australia, I believe he now runs australia first in NSW, And welf is a prominant "Anarcho" nationalist.

Whilst some of your topics are issues that need to be debated, this is an event set up by and serves to promote the australia first party and other far right groups, an event that is well attended by the national socialist movement within Australia and serves as a platform for "former" and current facists.

Whilst your free to have your little get together (mind the company you keep) to promote such an event in a revolutionary leftist forum only serves to legitimise the far right.

To put it as australian as i can for you, faaarrrk off ya prick!
