Sydney - Police raided the offices of Australia's national broadcaster on Wednesday over allegations it had published classified material, the second raid on a media outlet in two days, prompting complaints that the "outrageous" raids hindered media freedom.
"It is highly unusual for the national broadcaster to be raided in this way," ABC Managing Director David Anderson said. The ABC raid was authorised by a court and based on evidence that provided "sufficient suspicion that a criminal offence has been committed", the Australian Federal Police said. News Corp called the raid on its employee "outrageous and heavy handed", and "a dangerous act of intimidation".
