Annika Smethurst's High Court Case

News Corp journalist Annika Smethurst has spent nearly two years with the threat of jail hanging over her head. Last week, the High Court ruled that the warrant used to raid her Canberra home was invalid. But the evidence seized has not been destroyed, and she could still face prosecution. Today we interview The Briefing's co-host and ask what is it like to be raided by the AFP? Guests include Lawyer Peter Bartlett (MinterEllisons) to recap the decision of the high court last week.

Today's news headlines:

  • Virgin Australia enters voluntary administration
  • South Korea reports 179 new positive Coronavirus tests
  • Oil prices dip below zero making petrol cheap as chips

In today's Briefing we ask: What's it like to be the centre of a news story when it blew up last year? How did it go down when 7 federal police officers turn up at your door when you're leaving for work? What is it like to hear Bono mention your case during a U2 concert and having other celebrities weigh in on freedom of the press? Has it changed your view on other people who have been thrust into a spotlight? At what point does surreal and bizarre become really hard and hurtful? What's the emotional effect of a raid on your personal items like texts to friends, screenshots and notebooks? How do you prepare for the worst case scenario of jail? Has it been worth it? Would you pursue that story again?
