Freedom of expression is an important value we all live by yet an ABC journalist was refused entry into Nauru to cover the Pacific Island Forum due to Nauru perceiving the ABC as an “activist” type of media. Witness K on the other hand is facing criminal charges for revealing Australia’s bugging of Timor-Leste’s cabinet files during sensitive negotiations.Why will our government not advocate more strongly for press freedom and pardon whistle blowers?
