High Court stymies critical gourmands
Fri, 15/06/2007 - 8:16am — Mark
A dismal pyramid of sorbet ($15) jangles the mouth like a gamelan concert.
The restaurant review they’ve banned in Australia (although not really, since smh.com.au is still featuring it).
Obviously restaurant reviews are not socially important. They only serve as an eating guide for the well to do. However, there’s clearly something much more important going on here, namely that freedom of speech is being curtailed in the cause of protecting commercial interest. It’s perhaps the case that the newspaper in fact did unfairly discriminate against this one restaurant and favour others with richer owners – I don’t know. But the court judgment is really worrying. Constitutional protection for freedom of criticism anyone?
