censorship and democracy

in last week's lecture for news and politics we were shown a scale. on the left side of this political scale was left wing beliefs such as communism etc and on the right side was beliefs such as nazism (or whatever that is) etc. Australia (as a labour democracy) sat close to the center but swinging to the right side. censorship is purely a right wing belief so how can Australia be both a democracy and way over near being nazi's (do we even want to be associated with that?). so i believe no, there is no place for censorship in a democracy (well at least not a good one).
