On the 17th of May Sydney Morning Herald technology journalist Ben Grubb was arrested while covering an IT Security conference on the Gold Coast.
Grubb wrote a story on a presentation given by IT security expert Christian Hendrich in which Hendrich demonstrated how easy it was to obtain photos from Facebook, even ones you don’t have permission to access. 
Grubb’s story featured a blurred photo of the one used in the presentation and the Queensland Police Service used this alleged possession of illegally acquired material as grounds for his arrest and the ensuing confiscation of his iPad, more or less his journalists notebook. 
The arrest of a journalist in the course of their public duty raised questions as to whether  Australia’s cybercrime laws need reform and Stephen Stockwell spoke with QUT Law Lecturer Peter Black about this reform, police discretion and the laws under which Ben Grubb was arrested.

While the message is a strong and worthwhile one there are those who believe the way slutwalks broach the issue the issue leaves a something to be desired. 
One such critic is blogger and writer Paula Matthewson and she expressed her concerns of the phenomenon to Stephen Stockwell.
