Speakers' Corner, Sydney

There is a Speakers' Corner in the Domain in Sydney, established in 1878. The speakers speak every Sunday afternoon from 2 pm until 5 pm, and have a website. Official outdoor 'free' speech first appeared in the hustings and hanging grounds of Hyde Park Sydney in 1874. Free speech in this form was banned following a serious riot between Catholics and Orangemen. However, following the formalisation of free speech in Speakers' Corner in London it was decided in 1878 that The Domain would be the place for free speech in Sydney. Other Speakers' Corners are found in King George Square and The Powerhouse in Brisbane. In Melbourne, Speakers Corner was originally held in Birrarung Marr where the original site is still visible.
