Australia: Federal police violate confidentiality of reporter’s sources by raiding his home

Reporters sans frontières - Australia
"Reporters Without Borders is very disturbed by this week’s raid on the Canberra home of Philip Dorling, a reporter for the Canberra Times daily, by federal police seeking classified defence documents cited in a story reporting that close allies Japan and South Korea were priority targets for Australia’s spies as well as countries such as China and North Korea."
