All Australians are entitled to freedom of speech, association, assembly, religion, and movement.
Freedom of speech - Australians are free, within the bounds of the law, to say or write what we think privately or publicly, about the government, or about any topic or issue. The media, including newspapers, television, radio and internet, are not routinely censored and may criticise the government without fear of arrest.
This freedom, however, comes with responsibility. Free speech or expression must be based on facts, not rumours, and the intention must be constructive, not to do harm. There are laws to protect a person's reputation and integrity against false information (called libel and slander).
In all Australian states and territories, there are also laws against saying or writing things to incite hatred against others because of their culture, ethnicity or background, etc. Freedom of speech cannot be used as an excuse to harm others.
Freedom of association - We are free to join any legal organisation, union or group. We can choose whether or not to belong to a trade union or to a political party.
Nobody can be punished or penalised because they are a member of an organisation, whether it is of a political nature or not. Allowing dissenting views encourages a healthy and strong democracy.
Freedom of assembly - We are free to meet with other people in public or private places, in small or large groups, for legitimate social or political purposes.
Being able to protest and demonstrate is an accepted form of free expression. Protests and demonstrations, however, must not be violent or break existing laws such as assault, and trespassing on private or public property.
Governments are changed peacefully through elections and not through violence.
Freedom of religion - Australia has no official or state religion. The law does not enforce the religious doctrine of any religion. We are free to follow any religion we choose. We are also free not to have a religion. Religious practice, however, must conform to Australian laws.
Freedom of movement - We can move freely to and from all states and territories and leave Australia at any time.
Until they are eligible and become Australian citizens, some migrants may have certain conditions placed on their visa, such as living in a particular location. 注意这里，并非所有澳洲居民都有完全的人身自由
In return for these rights and freedoms, all members of the Australian community are expected to have an overriding commitment to Australia, and to accept the principles and civic values of the Australian community including:
The rule of law
The democratic principles of government (and institutions such as the Constitution and parliamentary democracy)
Acceptance of cultural diversity (tolerance)
Equality of sexes and ethnic backgrounds
Equality of opportunity
Freedom of speech and religion
English as the national language
