Media freedom is central to democracy
Media freedom and whistleblower protection isn’t just about journalists, it’s about the public’s right to know.
A free press and protection for whistleblowers to speak truth to power is essential for a robust and healthy democracy. Journalism is not a crime and legislation should protect them, not criminalise them.
Attention: Attorney-General,
An attack on media freedom is an attack on all Australians.
Journalism is not a crime and legislation should protect them, not criminalise them.
A free press and protection for whistleblowers to speak truth to power is essential for a robust and healthy democracy.
It is my right to know the truth. The truth about tax dollars spent and decisions made behind closed doors.
I therefore call on the Attorney-General to ensure media freedom and whistleblower protections by supporting the development of a Media Freedom Act.
