The AFP raids were a disgrace

The AFP conducted two raids and threatened another radio commentator over the last two days.
We are lucky that Rebecca Anannian-Welsh has written a very good article about this.

My thoughts are these:

  1. These raids have NOTHING to do with national security
  2. It looks suspiciously like payback after the LNP's surprising electoral victory
  3. The journalists were assured they were not being targeted. the AFP were after those who leaked the information in other words the whistle blowers
  4. The information by all parties was clearly made in the public interest. The government and bureaucrats were clearly embarrassed.
  5. The Law council warned us about this last year.
  6. The legislation should be amended immediately so journalists are not targeted.
