Australians’ Access to Information – Redacted
Simon Kneebone
1 March 2020
‘This cartoon was a reaction to the Federal police raids on journalists which were declared valid by a federal court. The ABC’s news director Gavin Morris said this was “a blow to the way Australians have access to information in their society”. My take was that we are only getting a redacted version of what our government is actually up to’.
