Abstract | This article considers the growing use of clauses in funding contracts with NGOs restricting their ability to engage in advocacy or contribute to public debate on contentious political issues. It argues there is a plausible argument that such clauses are unconstitutional, offensive to the implied freedom of political communication. |
