It's not "wrong". It's the way things were set up, but it's half-assed to set up a constitution to protect individual liberties while including weasel clauses to take them away. Given the way it's currently written, it's foolish to whine about it. Improve it.
"Governments shall make no law infringing freedom of expression, except when they really need to." - weak, but not "wrong"
"Governments shall make no law infringing freedom of expression." - strong
What people ought feel ashamed of is lacking the courage to face the hard work of getting things done without having to water down rights, and for supporting the erosion of some rights while demanding others. I don't like to see the NWC used, but egregious use might set the political conditions for removing the NWC and restoring rights. "The way out is through."
