      It is concerning to see law enforcement officials demanding media organizations hand over footage of protests. This sets a dangerous precedent for press freedom and the ability to hold those in power accountable.

            The ABC should stand firm in protecting the rights of its journalists and their sources.

                  Is this what the authorities should be doing?
