Freedom of the Press in Australia v in Vietnam

Patrick Henry:

This says very clearly what I've wanted to say on this topic.

The difference between Australia and Vietnam is one degree rather than... "speciation"? [Doctor Thomas, is this the correct use or a Humpty-Dumpty use of the word?]

Nevertheless, this difference indegree, I argue, is vital. Anyway, half a loaf is better than none, etc. I'm sure censorship in Australia is not sinister (in the short term anyway, I am alert but not alarmed about the long term), but it does exist due to: bribery; self-censorship due to fear of offending a jingoistic public; self-censorship due to political machinations of the proprietor; self-censorship as a price for a source; libel laws.

Doctor Thomas:

I believe the phrase is "difference of degree rather than kind".

Actually, when you really dig deeply, the difference between"differences of degree" rather than "differences of kind" is adifference of degree, rather than kind.
