"It's A Search Warrant, Sir."

[Tulip]

Watch the video.

Channel 7 label a raid on their offices re. Corby as overkill, but won't let people into their premises - even if they're authorised investigators.

Not sure if the same type of overkill as offering Schapelle $2M for an interview.

I wonder what our favourite FTA station is hiding?

 

[Bluelegs]

Video?

 

[exe ex machina]

cancel

 

[bkozican]

Would they be dumb enough to do the transaction on paper..........I would think not.

Maybe some video of the alleged interview.

Hahaha Koche made a meal of that fiasco. God bless him

“But what is most disturbing is to also seek to use search warrants to access all of our news and corporate records. This is without justification and quite possibly unprecedented for a media organisation.”

It's disturbing that the police are using the proper legal process to obtain evidence? It's an outrage! An OUTRAGE I tell you!

 

[quickstraw]

What have they done wrong? How was a search warrant approved for that?

Clearly grandstanding. media cameras filming them walking around and reading documents. Screamed of "if you piss us off and pay a criminal money, this is what we can do. Just reminding you guys."

Who would of thunk there would be television cameras ready to go in the channel 7 offices......

They asked channel 7 for docs relating to paying Corby and 7 refused what are they supposed to do "oh ok don't worry about it then"......

I guess they provided grounds to show a belief that records pertaining to the commission of a criminal offence were on the premises?

Yeah, I don't think it was the AFP who brought all the cameras along.

 

[The Passenger]

Is this all to do with proceeds of crime?

Never quite understood that law. Plenty of people leave prison and make money selling their stories. Chopper Read for one would have made loads over the years.

In any case, I can't believe people still (or ever did) care about the whole Shappelle Corby thing.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Wasn't Chopper one of the main reasons those laws came in?

 

[courtjester]

None of this (Kochie, the warrant) is real. All hype driven shit. Commercial TV/media/news is a ****ing joke.

I'm assuming they meant to add "in Australia". Or haven't they been paying attention to the Fleet Street scandal. Don't they watch the News...

Not even in Australia. I'm sure I remember a similar raid in Perth a few years back. The Sunday Times I think it might have been.

Can't wait for Bali Underbelly to hit the screens

 

[CakeEater]

We are copping it from both print media and C7 in Perth.

The Worst led with it front page, then followed it up with an editorial.

Of course the fact that C7 owns the Worst has nothing to do with such coverage though.

 

[Borry]

Well, at least they are paying their tax.

It's a letdown the government hasn't shut down that media organisation yet
