Australians are free, within the bounds of the law, to say or write what we think privately or publicly, about the government, or about any topic. We do not censor the media and may criticise the government without fear of arrest. Free speech comes from facts, not rumours, and the intention must be constructive, not to do harm. There are laws to protect a person's good name and integrity against false information. There are laws against saying or writing things to incite hatred against others because of their culture, ethnicity or background. Freedom of speech is not an excuse to harm others.

Yes. Anyone in Australia is free to follow the religion of his or her choice. The 1901 Constitution of Australia prohibits the government to establish a national religion.

What are you free to do in Australia?

Australia has freedom of speech, so you can express your opinions or criticise the government. Australia has freedom of religion so you can go to a church, mosque, synagogue or temple and practice any faith that you like, alternatively you are free not to have a religion. In Australia you can travel and move about freely. Basically you are free to do just about anything that you can do in any other democratic country like France, United Kingdom or Canada. Australians have the right to freedom of religion, and that is it. Freedom of speech only applies to the right to freedom of political speech and not speech in general.

Is it true that in Australia everyone is free to practice the religion of their choice or no religion?

In Australia (as it stands at the moment) people are free to practise any spirituality, religion, philosophy, etc they choose to, as long as it does not restrict or violate the state or federal law. The terms spirituality, religion and philosophy covers Religion, Non-Religion, New Age Religions and other spirituality and philosophies such as Scientology. It is impossible to have a fair and reasonable society if there is no freedom of religion or for that matter if religion plays a part in the government of a nation. To this end the constitution of Australia guarantees freedom of religion or no religion.
