Labor will move to establish a parliamentary committee to examine press freedom in Australia, following AFP raids on a NewsCorp journalist and the ABC.
Opposition home affairs spokeswoman Kristina Keneally will move a motion in the senate on Thursday to establish the Joint Select Committee into the Public's Right to Know and Press Freedom, which would also examine whistleblower protections and the independence of the AFP.
Senator Kenneally says the events of the past month raised questions about press freedom under the Morrison government and called on Mr Morrison to take swift action to address the concerns of the Australian community and media organisations.
