Attorney-General PHILIP RUDDOCK has confirmed the charge is the first made under the
federal government's counter-terrorism laws.

which limits the media's ability to report on terrorist investigations.
He's asked on ABC radio whether people would like an investigation into an activity
which could take the lives of Australians to be compromised because journalist wanted
to get a good story.
