"We do have whistleblower protection laws, but they are a con.

"They do not work. They're like the disinformation laws … they're the opposite to what they claim to do.

"The actual reality is whistleblowers like myself, who clearly were simply well-intentioned, end up in jail as if we were criminals."

Hey, law people. Isn't #DavidMcBride covered by #Nuremberg ?

#DavidMcBride had the courage to reveal #Australian Special Forces' #WarCrimes in #Afghanistan and has been sentenced to spend 5 years and 8 months in prison.
It's a monstrous injustice.
