Australia's Right to Know coalition — made up of leading media outlets and organizations — opposes privacy law reform, saying it would have a "devastating impact on press freedom and journalism," the Guardian reports. The proposed reform includes a right to sue for serious privacy invasions and would require media companies to comply with requirements around securing and destroying private information. The group said the proposal would be "contrary to public interest and result in a significant curtailing of press freedom in Australia."
