- Whistleblowers are the backbone of transparency and accountability - democracy can’t function without them, nor good journalism, nor the fight against corruption. And yet, Australian whistleblower protection laws are woefully inadequate.
Instead of being applauded for speaking out against wrongdoing, everyday people face criminal charges, mountains of legal debt, and often blacklisting in their profession.
The Cost: Whistleblowers in Australia shows the impacts of whistleblower protection laws on Jacinta O'Leary who exposed human rights abuses on Nauru detention centres operated by the Australian Government, and Sharon Kelsey, who risked everything to bring integrity to Logan City Council.
Australian whistleblower protections are broken - but real solutions are within reach. Right now, whistleblowers and their experiences need to be front and centre of the political debate to build the momentum needed for things to change. That's why this film was made.

Australian Walkley award winning truth teller Julian Assange is missing from this whistleblower campaign. Why is that?
Ridiculous Laws here in Australia!
No Australian should ever lose their House, their Home just to make Australia a Fairer place for everyone!
The ALP had better come down on the side of the whistle blowers or suffer the consequences at the next elections!
What are the two lines of text at the end of the video after the credits? At least on my computer they are mostly obscured by the clickable preview to the Panel Discussion video and the GetUp logo.

For anyone watching, and not those who are a front for pol parties, trying again to get this through with the 'right words' that don't 'trigger' the 'senator' in my last message. Royal commission consequences is the name of something that will appear in a certain place to the left of my words. No time left, and too late. Hope this one gets through.
Trying to get info out but can't. SENator SIR lives in a SHIP.
Thanks for the warning - I'll never whistleblow!
