Australian govt blindfolds citizens with ‘unprecedented’ media gag order - WikiLeaks — RT News

 

WikiLeaks has accused the Australian government of blindfolding the
public with the worst suppression order in “living memory.” The media
gag bans Australian news outlets from reporting on a multinational
corruption case for reasons of national security.




The whistleblowing organization published the details of the
“unprecedented” gag order issued by the Australian
government on Wednesday. The super injunction passed by the
Supreme Court of the state of Victoria prohibits Australian media
organizations from publishing material on a multi-million-dollar
graft case involving high-ranking officials from Malaysia,
Indonesia, Vietnam and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
