New delhi date. October 21, 2019, Monday

Monday morning in Australia proved to be a surprise to the general public. People were surprised to find black ink on the front page of the newsletter, usually featuring important news.

In addition, a red letter, 'Secret', was also found in the newspaper. In fact, this was adopted to protest the country's government's attempt to rein in the media.

Various news outlets in the country protested by keeping their front page black, complaining that the Australian government was preventing the public from using the laws.

Last June, a major media conglomerate of Australia raided the headquarters of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and a reporter's house. The raids were carried out in view of articles published on the basis of some information leaked by the whistleblowers.

In protest, all media groups in the country protested by turning black ink on the front page of the newsletter. Australian newspapers complained that reporting was being controlled due to national security law and that a 'culture of secrecy' was being created in the country.

According to the Australian government, they support the freedom of the press but there is nothing bigger than the law in the country. The report, which was published by the ABC last June, alleges war crimes and a government agency spying on Australian citizens.

News Corp Australia's EC tweeted the front page photo of its newspaper to the government and the general public, "What do they want to hide from us?" That was the question.

News Corp's main antagonist, Nine, also kept the front pages of his newspapers, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, black. Meanwhile, ABC MD David Anderson claimed Australia was in danger of becoming the world's most secretive democracy.

In addition to the press, several TV, radio and online groups also supported the Right to No Coalition in the campaign. Following the laws implemented last year, the media organization has launched a campaign to allow journalists and whistleblowers to report sensitive details.

According to a report, the Australian Parliament has implemented more than 60 laws related to secrecy and espionage over the past 20 years. Newspapers in their front page 'When the Government is keeping away from the truth, what does it cover?' He also questioned. It is worth mentioning that this incident is reminiscent of Indira Gandhi's government implementing the crisis in India 28 years after independence.
