The signature voice of Lorax broadcast for over two years with in-depth looks at controversial subjects and marginalized voices. LoraxLive raised the collective consciousness and is representative of emerging, global communications networks that allows uncensored content, to stand on its merits. For daring to speak truth to power and helping to expose the injustice rampant within the top tiers of global power Adam Bennett became a target.
With spurious charges by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) he has bee barred from doing his radio broadcasts like other journalists who have incurred the wrath of powerful toxic forces. Despite the baseless nature of charges against him the days of innocent until proven guilty are gone. Lorax faces a protracted and costly legal battle to regain his right to free speech and we ask you to help #FreeLorax.
