Don't Use Australian Talent Management !!!

While ATM may legally enforce removal of certain material as has been done by another agency in the past, they cannot enforce the closure of a public forum. This currently is against the law of Freedom of Speech, which despite the sedition laws of recent remain very much intact in this particular case.

It is to the right of any individual to voice their opinions. Slanderous comments and obvious attacks are certainly overstepping the bounds somewhat and there moderators can pull on the reigns a little. Yet they cannot censure all such commentary or be held accountable themselves. To inhibit another's right to an opinion is still (in the large) illegal in this country, unless it be considered slanderous and defamatory.

We all get slammed from time to time. The measure of a good person/business/agency is their ability to stand that punishment and be accountable. Some agencies have rightly deserved exposure, others have been unfairly represented. That is simply free-speech at work.
