Rally for Press Freedom - Perth


28/07/2019
1:00pm - 3:00pm
Forrest Place - between Wellington Street and Murray Street Mall, Perth

Join MEAA and PEN as we take press freedom to the streets in Perth on Sunday 28th of July.

Following the AFP raids on journalists’ homes and offices in June, along with the increasing criminalisation and persecution of journalists and whistleblowers, MEAA is hosting a public rally for press freedom.

This is an issue that affects us all. It underpins the foundations of our democracy and the ability to hold those in power to account.

Attacks on journalists are attacks on the public’s right to know.

Guest speakers include: Hon. Alison Xamon, MLC; Geoff Hutchison, ABC; Robbie Wood, PEN Perth; Victoria Laurie, The Australian; with more to be confirmed.
