#BREAKING Minutes ago the High Court unanimously ruled that the warrant used by the AFP to authorise the search of Ms Smethurst’s residence was invalid and should be quashed. An important victory for public interest reporting and our #RightToKnow. #auspol #AFPRaids #auslaw

The HCA held that the warrant was invalid as it failed to state the offence on which the warrant relied with sufficient provision, making the entry, search and seizure of the search unlawful.
