What is the most unfree country in the world?

Postby Leaping Lindner » Fri Nov 12, 2010 5:43 pm

What is the most unfree country in the world?
Is it Burma? North Korea? The Democratic Republic of Congo? Zimbabwe? Albania? Iran?....

No! According to Far North Queensland's very own one man mensa society, Bob Katter, it's Australia!!!!
As quoted at today's election launch in Mildura.

Well, our 'Press Freedom' ranking is pretty poor for a supposed leading democracy, but as for being the most 'unfree' country...Bob needs to get out more.

I strongly disagree that it's Australia but at the same time it isn't as free as it should be because of political correctness, the "just ban it" brigade and nanny staters. And nor is Australia as free as it was back in the 1950s and 60s...
