Australian newspapers black out front pages against media curbs

Canberra, Oct 21 (UNI) Putting aside their rivalries, the major Australian newspapers on Monday unite to protest against the legislation that restrict the press freedom, by issuing front pages text redacted in black.
The biggest newspapers of Australia --The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian Financial Review front pages were blacked out as part of a campaign against government secrecy, penalise whistleblowing and in some cases, criminalise journalism.
The protest campaign comes as the country’s federal court rejected moves by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to challenge the legality of police raids on its headquarters in June.
