Summary:
Mr Reid(News limited group editorial director) said it was time to set up pressure for vital reforms to make Australia a freer society. The government should replace court suppression orders with transparency. He acknowledged that the new Freedom of Information laws federally making a difference in some states, and commend the new federal shield laws which give some protection for journalists to pretect their sources. However the protection for 'whistleblowers has slipped off the radar'.
Personal reflection:
As the summary mentioned, the government ought to concentrate on not only the journalists, but the whistleblowers. If the protection for the whistleblowers is not enough, people may be more hesitated when providing some important information.

Summary
The son of a police commisioner who is called Russell Joseph O'Callaghan has pleaded guilty to attempting manufacturing prohibited drug. He was arrested in Perth's south on Mar 20 with four people. His lawyer said the drug was a small amount. However it was a small enough amount to warrant sentence.There will be a presentence report and sentence until June 1.
Personal reflection
As I looked at the title, I thought maybe there were something to do with the police commisioner. However there is nothing to do with him, the reporter just used the title to catch people's eyes.
In my opinon, nomatter whoever disobey the law, he/she should be justice

Summary

Moreover, it also provides imformation about leading a more active lifestyle that will help to develop physical and mental wellbeing to older people.
In addition, the website is useful for GPs and other health professionals to care for their patients.
Personal reflection
From what I understand, it is a good idea to creat a website like this. As people get older they are at rising risk of having a fall. Injuries will probably cause by fall. However it can be prevented by doing more physical activity of fall prevention programs. Therefore it is a good way to provide and encourage the elders to be active.
