Criminals serving sentences are forced into providing labor for the state, in the form of participation in war as "volunteers", in order to regain their freedom. Overpopulation has become such an issue that the Panopticons have implemented a drastic measure: anyone arrested for any crime is found guilty, regardless of whether or not they actually are. Based on the philosophy that newborns waste resources, the very existence of a person is a crime; more than 100 million people serve as criminals throughout the world. Criminals are forced to battle giant monsters called "Abductors" as punishment. Defeating the Abductors, which are known to capture civilians, reduces the Criminals' sentences, which start at 1,000,000 years.[9] Criminals are placed under constant surveillance and have their rights stripped; personal rights can only be gradually regained through labor. Surveillance of criminals occurs in the form of dual-purpose androids known as Accessories, which watch over criminals whilst serving as partners to them during combat.[9]

On the front line of these battles are the sinners -- criminals born with a million-year prison sentence imposed upon them for simply existing. Deprived of almost all rights and privileges, sinners attempt to work off their sentence and ear various small freedoms by completing missions issued by the powers that be. These missions are known as voluntary contribution operations.

As journalists, freedom of expression is crucial to your ability to scrutinise the political process. You are more aware than most that this freedom is a fragile flower to be nurtured. What brings me here today however is the wider question of how fundamental freedoms should be protected, especially where they appear to come into conflict.

On his appointment as Attorney General, The Hon Senator Brandis, has shone a spotlight on how human rights are protected under Australian laws. He makes an entirely valid point. In driving his reform agenda he observes that Australia has given weight to anti-discrimination laws in respect of race, sex, age and disability to the disadvantage of fundamental freedoms of speech, association, and religion, and freedom from arbitrary detention.

One of the disturbing aspects of the freedoms debate, however curiously silent, is the inconsistency in approach. Those who emphasise individual freedoms have remained curiously silent in the face of the mandatory detention currently of about 4,700 asylum seekers in remote detention centers in Australia and Christmas Island.

The answer is one that is exceptional to Australia. For relative to comparable legal systems we have very few constitutional or legislative protections for fundamental freedoms. We have no Commonwealth Bill of Rights or Charter of Rights unlike all other common law countries. But we do have some legislation prohibiting discrimination, protecting privacy, employment rights and criminal trial procedures and ensuring administrative power is exercised fairly. It is therefore inevitable that the AHRC, the courts and other government agencies have overwhelmingly been engaged in applying the predominantly anti- discrimination laws in the absence of laws protecting other fundamental freedoms.

The answer lies partly in a culture that is both built upon and demands fundamental freedoms -the national insistence on a fair go, tolerance and equality of opportunity- and partly in a mix of judicial oversight, parliamentary scrutiny and administrative processes, and upon the monitoring and complaints functions of the AHRC.

The case was a low point in the history of Australian human rights, and it demonstrated that the courts are powerless if Parliament passes legislation that that unambiguously breaches fundamental freedoms. [I should in fairness point out that the Minister subsequently exercised his discretion to release Ahmed and he now lives, I am told, happily in Australian on a humanitarian visa. But the law remains unchanged.

There is a gap, therefore, between perceptions of Australia as a country with a proud human rights record and the reality that many of the fundamental freedoms protected in Europe, Canada, the US and our cousins in New Zealand are not available here. In each of these countries, all acts are viewed through the prism of human rights charters, bills of rights, and regional conventions along with international treaties.

As journalists you know that freedom of speech and the press is the litmus test for any healthy liberal democracy. It is not an absolute right but must be accommodated with other freedoms. In finding this accommodation it is helpful to ask why democracies protect freedom of speech. An important reason is that this freedom ensures an informed participation in representative democracy. It is therefore hard to see how racial abuse in public can possibly advance democracy or ensure inclusion of vulnerable minorities within the Australian community. Racial abuse is an attack on minorities that diminishes their dignity and has a chilling effect on their participation in social life. In short, freedom of speech can also be an abuse of that freedom.

The Human Rights Commission is the first port of call for human rights complaints, and we receive no more than 2 or 3 complaints a year alleging a breach of freedom of speech.

By contrast, we saw a 59% spike in racial hatred complaints in 2013 along with a 5% rise in general race-based complaints.

We now come to the second of my examples of accommodation of the balance between freedoms; the right not to be subject to arbitrary detention without trial and the right of a sovereign nation to determine for itself its national security, border control and migration policy.

A further 177 children are detained on Nauru and 1325 adults are detained on Manus Island. The detention of asylum seekers for years, without charge or trial, without access to the courts, or funding support for legal advice, raises profound concerns that Australia is breaching some of the most fundamental of freedoms- freedoms that were included in the Magna and have been upheld by the common law and reflected in every major human rights instrument since; freedoms including the right to a fair trial, the right not to be detained arbitrarily and the right not to be subjected to cruel and inhuman punishment. These freedoms are the essence of modern civilization and are universally recognized and usually honored.

I am all too well aware that the national consultation conducted by Father Frank Brennan, failed to attract the necessary political will to support his recommendation for a Charter of Rights. But let us not give up on the need for effective human rights mechanisms. One way is to enact specific legislation setting out core freedoms of speech, association, assembly, criminal trial procedures and protections against arbitrary detention. If such legislation proves faulty or ineffective, it can of course be repealed.

I know that Australia can find a way to protect and respect all human rights and freedoms in our multicultural society in a way that protects social cohesion and inclusion of all. We do need to avoid polarisation and politicisation. We need to try harder.

You are one such Sinner, and like all Sinners you have two options: to rot in your holding cell until you die, or to "repay society" by fighting on the frontlines against rival Panopticons and the mysterious "Abductors". With the aid of your Accessory, an android that acts as both your companion and warden, you must fight to earn your freedom amidst an escalating clash of forces that seek to bring about something called "The Great Transformation".

None of that matters, though, when you're flying around the battlefield toppling giants, making daring escapes with Citizens, chopping entire pieces off an Abductor, clinging to walls like Spider-Man, and climbing tall structures only to dive down and slice an unsuspecting Sinner with impossible force. Every action in the meat of the game just feels good, especially when you join up with three other people online to take down missions or even pit yourself against other teams. Once you get the hang of the complex controls and slight camera issues, you're in for a breathless, exhilarating time staring down giant robots, outmaneuvering your rivals, and rescuing your betters. You may be battling for your freedom, Sinner, but you may not want this battle to end once you get going.

Want to run for more than five seconds without receiving an additional twenty year sentence? Buy the entitlement for it. Want new clothes? There are entitlements for that. The freedom motif is really driven home. To obtain these entitlements, the player simply has to save up entitlement points by being a productive member of the Panopticon. Completing missions and donating resources are the two main ways to accrue entitlement points. The more achieved, the more entitlements become available.

Freedom Wars is a solid action RPG that's put behind bars by a slew of elements that end up lacking. While none of these flaws ruin the experience, they definitely put a dampener on some of the game's best qualities, such as its deliciously dystopian premise and intense boss battles. Although it doesn't deserve total freedom, this year's biggest Vita title certainly shouldn't be subjected to a life of servitude either.

The Western version of Freedom Wars features Japanese audio with subtitles in multiple languages, but no English dubs, says Producer Nick Accordino, who also revealed a physical edition of the sci-fi Vita game is "definitely planned" for North America. Sony's also published a new subtitled story trailer, which you'll find below the break.

Freedom Wars is set in a dystopian future where players are born into penal communities called Panopticons and have to fight to earn their freedom. Completing the game's action-RPG, Monster Hunter-like missions helps to reduce your incarceration, but - and it's a but big enough to please Sir Mix-a-Lot - your sentence begins at 1 million years. Bit harsh.

From a gameplay perspective, there is an interesting regional difference to do with the Panopticons. In Japan, where the game just released, there are 47 Panopticons based on the country's real-life 47 prefectures. According to Accordino (possible sitcom?), the West's Freedom Wars features 50 Panopticons based on cities across the globe, and players can choose which one they'd like to be placed in. e24fc04721
