Australian Broadcasting Corporation head concerned by police raid
The head of Australia's public broadcaster says she has "grave concern" about a police raid on the corporation's headquarters in connection with a 2017 story based on leaked documents that indicated the country's military forces were being investigated for possible war crimes in Afghanistan.
Australian Broadcasting Corporation chairwoman Ita Buttrose said on Friday the raid in Sydney on Wednesday was "clearly designed to intimidate".
Buttrose said she had a "frank conversation" with a government minister and that: "As ABC chair, I will fight any attempts to muzzle the national broadcaster."
