Abstract
Recent controversy has surrounded the sanctioning, by regulatory authorities, of doctors for publicly expressing views on elements of the COVID-19 pandemic. This controversy fundamentally involves the limits of intellectual freedom doctors have within the constraints of Codes of Conduct. In this context, a recent unanimous High Court of Australia judgement gives an important window into how the Court considers intellectual freedom and attempts to curtail such freedom under the guise of conduct.
