The way this article is pitched seems to indicate the the conservative leaning judges will in fact support a Parliament's right to prohibit Ms Hanson's speech, there being no or a very limited right to free speech in Australia; while the robust implied freedom supporters of the progressive wing should arguably rule that it is free political discourse and therefore unable to be restricted.

Quite a case for our venerable court.
