Damien Grant: We're having a free speech moment. It isn't going well


Kim Hill was at her patronising best. “Why would you be worried about being attacked?” she asked Posie Parker, before the events of last week unfolded.

Hill, perhaps sensing that this question was best left unanswered, segued quickly into demanding why Nazis liked to attend Parker’s rallies. Guilt by association was a politically safer line of questioning than asking the British activist about her actual views and why she was touring the antipodes in the first place.

We’re having a free-speech moment. It isn’t going well.
