Australian Police Attempt To BAN Reporters From Covering Their Violent Attacks On Anti Lockdown Protesters

Police in Australia have attempted to prevent journalists from reporting the anti-lockdown demonstrations.

On Wednesday, Victoria police announced a no-fly zone over the city center, suggesting that media video would provide demonstrators with intelligence that would allow them to avoid the cops. This, obviously, has nothing to do with the cops being caught on film beating and indiscriminately firing rubber bullets at demonstrators.

After the media pushed back with a court challenge, the police were forced to partially back off the order to keep news helicopters out of the skies.



RT reports: Police in Victoria initially issued a blanket order to keep local news helicopters out of the sky over the Melbourne city center known as the CBD, according to 7 News Melbourne, which reported that it was filing a legal challenge to the rule on Wednesday along with fellow Melbourne broadcaster Channel 9.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority declared the airspace above Melbourne city center a ‘no-fly zone’ on Wednesday afternoon, encompassing three nautical miles from the district, before police relented after a wave of protest from the news media.
