Whoever causes "nuisance" during Pope Benedict XVI's Australian visit risks being charged up to £2800. Who is limiting who? Have these people a right to have their say? Listen to their reasons.

    Oh, look what happens when you invite a pope in your town!

  • It is an interesting dilemma, the conflict of two human rights. The right to free speech and the right to practise your chosen religion. I understand that people need the right to express their opinions, but I also understand that the Pope and I imagine the city of Sydney, wants World Youth Day to go without a hitch. I honestly don't know which side I come down on. How about you?

  • Right, so you have freedom of expression and freedom of religion, so long as your expression isn't anti-religious?

    What's wrong with you Australia? You used to be cool.

  • If you read the article the powers are not to be used to silent dissenters, they are in place to ensure that noone attempts to unlawfully disrupt the Day. The example given would be the use of a paintbomb, which would be an unlawful act anyway. I think a little bit too much is being made of this. I don't believe anyones right to expression is being infringed upon here really. I jumped the gun a bit in my earlier post.
