Officers carried out a search warrant at the Sydney headquarters of the government-funded Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC) in Sydney, the Australian Federal Police said. Police raided the home of a News Corp editor on Tuesday, although they said the raids were unrelated. “It is highly unusual for the national broadcaster to be raided in this way,” ABC managing director David Anderson said in a statement. Dutton denied involvement in the police investigations and said that his office was notified after the raids were carried out. Both raids “relate to separate allegations of publishing classified material ... which is an extremely serious matter that has the potential to undermine Australia’s national security,” police said.
