Australia: Police raid ABC headquarters over Afghanistan stories

Police in Australia raided the headquarters of national broadcaster ABC in connection with a series of stories it ran in 2017 on accusations of unlawful killings committed by Australian special forces in Afghanistan.

The operation on Wednesday came just a day after police raided the Canberra home of News Corp Australia journalist Annika Smethurst about a report that detailed the authorities' bid to gain powers to spy on citizens' communications at home.

ABC executives said police searched the corporation's offices in Sydney, targeting three journalists involved in the broadcaster's two-year-old investigative report, known as The Afghan Files.

In 2017, ABC obtained government documents showing Australian special forces had killed innocent men and children in Afghanistan.

The Australian Federal Police said the search was "in relation to allegations of publishing classified material, contrary to provisions of the Crimes Act 1914".

ABC Executive Editor John Lyons said the search warrant demanded access to reporters' handwritten notes, emails, story drafts, footage and passwords, among other things.

Is this McBride a closet Lefty ? Was he put there by Gillard ?

Whistleblower behind ABC raid stands by Afghan leaks

A former Australian military lawyer charged with leaking classified documents at the centre of police raids at the ABC on Wednesday says he is facing life imprisonment but maintains he was acting in the public interest.

Due to appear in the ACT Supreme Court on June 13, David William McBride, 55, is charged over leaks to ABC journalists Dan Oakes, Sam Clark and Chris Masters and has pleaded not guilty in the ACT Magistrates Court.

Mr McBride is charged with theft and three counts of breaching the Defence Act, for being a person who is a member of the defence force and communicating a plan, document or information.

He is also charged under the Crimes Act, which make it an offence for a Commonwealth official to disclose information without authorisation.

The charges relate to an ABC investigation published in 2017 and based on leaked documents called The Afghan Files, which included allegations of unlawful killings by Australian troops.

The lawyer admitted providing all of the documents in question to the ABC, but has pleaded not guilty.

He said he was compelled to act as a whistleblower over Australia waging an “Instagram war” after his attempts to complain to the Department of Defence and police did not result in changes.

“The Defence Force was being misused to carry out operations that were counter productive and costing lives. We were fighting an Instagram war,” he told The New Daily.

God only knows Cods. I like to see him try to talk for a couple of seconds after his head had been freshly decapitated by a guillotine.

Greggy has recovered from his sulking session. But he is still not making any sense - then he never does.

Greggy are you going to chuck one of your big mentals and get suspended again ?

Greggy why don't you ask for a special concession to use profanity so you can fully express yourself ?

Greggy still has not recovered from the shock of ITA being put in charge of the former ABC Socialist Propaganda Station.

The ABC Women's Weekly is now part of the Libs media system. Just look how effectively that dismembered hopeless Shorty and got him dumped into the garbage bin.

cods is the poster girl for hypocrites all over the world.

I've never come across anyone quite like her.

Everything she hates others for, she does herself ... ten times worse.

The funny (sad) thing is, she doesn't realise she's doing it.
