And even MORE on unapproved speech - Same-sex marriage critic Margaret Court hits back over Cottesloe Tennis Club dumping: The West Australian
This is getting ugly and

Mrs Court said she was disappointed the tennis club had dumped her as vice-patron, saying the move was “politically motivated”.
“I think it’s sad. You don’t have the freedom of speech today to really defend yourself,” she said.
“It’s a sad day for our nation when it comes to that.
