Cevap
In Australia, freedom of speech is limited by laws that make it illegal to incite others to commit acts of violence.
The correct answer is correct because Australian law specifically prohibits speech that incites violence or racial hatred. This is a primary example of how the government balances individual freedom with the need to maintain public safety and a peaceful society.
