The Smethurst case and implications for democracy

The Australian Federal Police has over the past 24 hours said they would not be charging Annika Smethurst with an offence arising from her story on government agencies seeking to conduct greater surveillance of Australians. Barrister Greg Barns SC, a prominent human rights advocate, looks at the issues emerging from the Smethurst case and suggests several areas of possible law reform to ensure the right to freedom of speech is properly enshrined.
