From the Herald:
Robson and crew arrested in Indonesia
THE host of Today Tonight, Naomi Robson, and a Channel
Seven crew have been arrested by Indonesian authorities in Papua
after entering the province under the guise of tourists.
Robson was questioned by police along with her producer,
researcher, cameraman and sound recordist.
The head of the Indonesian Foreign Ministry, Imron Cotan,
confirmed five Australian journalists were being held in the Papuan
capital and would be deported as soon as possible.
The five had violated Indonesian immigration and visa laws, Mr
Cotan said. "They claimed to be tourists, but they brought
equipment for journalistic purposes and were carrying out
journalism."

Update: The best part is this quote from Peter Meakin, Seven's head of news and current affairs.
"He denied the story was an attempt to boost Today Tonight's
credibility.
"It was an attempt to get a good story," he told ABC
radio. "We don't decide what stories to do on the basis of
journalistic credibility.""
