Dutton warns foreign journalists amid China spat

A senior Australian government minister on Sunday warned foreign journalists working in the country they might come under the scrutiny of federal agencies if they provide a "slanted view" of Australian affairs.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton made the comments during a television interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corp., referring to journalists reporting to "a particular community."

While he didn't mention China, Dutton's comments come after the evacuation from China last week of two Australian journalists who sheltered in Australian diplomatic compounds after being questioned by police.
