DETENTION OF CHENG LEI STATEMENT

DAN OAKES DECISION WELCOME BUT JOURNALISM PROTECTIONS MUST BE STRENGTHENED.
The National Press Club is relieved to see the decision not to prosecute ABC reporter Dan Oakes, but this case highlights the urgent need for reform of laws that enable the criminalisation of journalism.
These laws have a chilling effect on the right of journalists to carry out their jobs, and to report without fear or favour.
