The fallout from police raids on the ABC’s Sydney office and the home of newspaper journalist Annika Smethurst is continuing. The Australia Federal Police’s acting commissioner Neil Gaughan says the AFP is investigating criminal allegations, and it is too soon to know whether charges will be laid as a result of the raids. He adds that journalists and media companies should not assume that they are immune from criminal prosecution. News Corp Australasia executive chairman Michael Miller has stressed the importance of professional news reporting, and he has warned of the implications for democracy if journalism is criminalised.
