actually he's not lying. The Australian goverment is based on a mix of the westminster system in britian and the USA system. As such their constitution is a very weak generalized document and most of their goverment is ran on custom. Additionally their is no bill of rights or anything about rights at all. However most australians know very little about their own goverment (due to it being taking out of education) so they assume that its just like america and they have the right to free speech and such.
