Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made headlines in January for his speech promoting principles of collaboration beyond the typical global superpowers we've come to rely on. Mr Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum was criticised by the United States, but middle powers around the world have voiced their support including Australia. So where does that leave us? Will we reconsider the long history of following the lead of the US?

As World Press Freedom Day is marked, it gives us a convenient moment to ask what is the state of that freedom in Australia?

In 2014, Australian journalist Peter Greste was given a seven-year jail sentence for allegations of 'airing false news' as a reporter for al-Jazeera in Egypt.
