It seems, according to the SMH article you quote, that, in Indonesia, the Journos are in charge of the legal system:
'Tony Abbott has incurred the wrath of Indonesia's journalists by excluding them from a press conference, and even committed a criminal offence, according to the head of the country's journalists' union.
It just proves that we truly live in The Lucky Country, a country where the Police and the judiciary are in charge of the legal system and not journalists.
