Reason Australia’s technology sector has not felt the “whistleblowing wave” that tore through Silicon Valley & the European Union is because they have seen whistleblowers like David McBride, Richard Boyle, Kitness K & others prosecuted by Australian governments. www.smh.com.au/technology/t...

Today is David McBride’s birthday🎁 He is 7mths into a 6 year sentence unless we can get him out on appeal in March. We are over halfway to raising enough to cover the legal fees for his appeal! Let’s bring him home - send a birthday donation his way today! Donate here 👉🏼 chuffed.org/project/davi...

Last night “The Drive” short film was screened. Ryder & I played the two main characters, directed by Vanessa Ekins. Ryder is a natural actor and it’s his dream to be one, so we are getting his reel & head shots ready to send to some agents. Great end to a shitty year for us both. Bring on 2025 🙌⭐️🙏

Hottest ever spring. Just as well we’re digging new coal mines www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A little sunshine walk & talk after a day of rain for my fellow #Blueskyers #FeelBlueTouchGreen

Surf Camp at Minnie Waters, Yuraygir National Park with the co parent and the kid! My first time surfing & I stood up on the board and caught 3 waves. So much fun, even in the rain.

This social media ban is a deeply flawed and dangerous proposal by people who appear to have never been on the internet, or met a teenager.

This male Superb Fairy Wren was warbling quite the tune last Tuesday week on the shores of Lake Ginninderra. #birds #australianbirds #superbfairywren

In other words: ‘Don’t you know who I am?’

Shoebridge: "Do you accept that the standards you set send a message to the whole of the public service?" Yes, Brereton says. Shoebridge then goes through, at length and piece by piece, the multiple decisions and engagements Brereton made in relation to Robodebt. Ouch.

Brereton is doing a great job of filibustering this NACC oversight committee hearing which has just 90 minutes for questions from senators. Almost half an hour gone now and he's still in his opening statement. Mostly rehash of his speech from last week so far.

The new host of Media Watch. A good choice. He’ll go well.

“Senator, I don’t know why you keep harping on about this conflict of interest stuff. I am Paul Brereton. Ethical obligations & laws don’t apply to me. They apply to everyone else. Don’t you know that by now?”

Brereton desperately trying to justify how he doesn’t have a conflict of interest in selecting the ‘eminent’ lawyer to investigate the #Robodebt decision. Where is Australia’s head lawyer @MarkDreyfusKCMP This is his remit? Why hasn’t he asked #Brereton to stand down?💀☠️

“We just don’t have the resources as the National corruption body to investigate the biggest corrupt government scandal in history” (Translated through the Doublespeak Filter) #auspol

“But Senator, I missed the conflict of interest lecture in Year 10 Legal Studies & I don’t remember being taught it at law school & I never heard of it in my 50 years as a military & common law Judge. Never. I just don’t understand why you think it’s important?” #auspol #NACC

And by extremes he means evidence based positions.

Government and Opposition only allowing 24 hours for a supposed "inquiry" into this absolute mess of a bill is utterly ridiculous. Share the link around! www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

I urge all Senators to vote yes to legalising cannabis - for more money for health and education and less people being locked up. Call your Senators and tell them why they should vote to legalise it!

Cheng Lei released from prison while locking up David Mcbride?

"People who are actually, genuinely exposing problems with the government are classified as criminals and put in jail … it's very, very dangerous." -David McBride www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Former military lawyer David McBride has given an interview to the ABC from the Canberra prison where he is serving a sentence of more than five years for leaking secret military documents to journalists.

Jailed whistleblower David McBride says he has faced threats from other inmates in Canberra prison www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Let’s make David McBride feel welcome on Bluesky! Give him a follow 👇🏼

David McBride continues telling the truth, this time from jail. Jail, he tells us, is dangerous and hard, but he expected that. What is harder to understand is why Labor’s AG refuses to pardon him and why no senior ADF leader is in jail for war crimes. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Jailed whistleblower David McBride says he has faced threats from other inmates in Canberra prison David McBride was sentenced to five years and eight months' jail for leaking secret military documents to journalists exposing allegations of war crimes by Australian soldiers. #auspol

🚨Jailed whistleblower David McBride says he has faced threats in Canberra prison - ABC News. It is an absolute stain on the Albanese govt and Attorney General that whistleblower protections have not yet been introduced. #integrity #auspol

Congratulations to the talented cartoonist @cathywilcox.bsky.social on being awarded the Walkley Award for Cartoon Of The Year for "Break Glass". 🎨 #auspol #corruption #whistleblowers #Walkleys

So good to see @davidmcbride.bsky.social deliver a message from jail to the Australian Government to FIX THE WHISTLEBLOWER LAWS

Hanging with the Whistleblowers at the Walkleys #Walkleys #Whistleblowers #PardonDavidMcBride

I wish I was making this up, but the boss of the National Anti-Corruption Commission has given a speech where he admits that he acted with "apprehended bias" during the Robodebt non-investigation. As Bernard Keane and many others argue, Brereton has to resign www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/18/p...

Wow. Kate McClymont reports Alan Jones has been arrested by police. www.smh.com.au/national/ala...

9 days till the Australian parliament votes on legalising cannabis have you told your local MP/Senator that you want them to vote yes?
