"Freedom From Information-Australia's war on transparency"

Walkley Award winning journalist Sarah Ferguson will present the 2015 A.N. Smith free public lecture "Freedom From Information-Australia's war on transparency" in Melbourne on Wednesday, October 7, 2015.

A taste:
While governments – and major institutions – find new ways to limit transparency, the media industry itself is equally culpable, trading away its freedom to investigate for short term access. There is a war on transparency underway and the media is colluding with the wrong side.
