Reporters Borders Subject Quotations

We fear this 'obstruction of justice' procedure is a judicial device for the government to yet again settle some scores with the privately-owned media and at the same time subject them to state censorship.

We condemn the closure of a newspaper, which has only carried out its role of informing the public by dealing with a subject that is high on the news agenda around the world.

As a matter of principle, the media should never be subject to constraint by the police or the courts, even when limited to a criminal investigation.

All the world's leaders are subject to parody and the Australian prime minister should learn to live with it rather than banning it.
