ABC won’t appeal Federal Court decision about the AFP’s raid

Australia’s national broadcaster, the ABC, has decided not to proceed with an appeal over the validity of a warrant used by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to raid its offices.

The ABC’s managing director David Anderson said the ABC’s legal position was carefully considered, however the industry’s union, the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA), said the decision showed the system is broken.
