We must fix the #PIDact. Government whistleblowers like David McBride, Richard Boyle are not protected by the current legislation and are gaoled instead.

"As an ADF lawyer, McBride was a respected expert on the rules of engagement, and he also taught the PID Act to soldiers."

Paul Gregoire explains the David McBride case in the below article, extensively quoting McBride's lawyer Eddie Lloyd https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/mcbrides-appeal-is-in-jeopardy-as-the-respected-lawyer-needs-finances-to-fund-it/

If we had to protect our whistleblowers, it'd be harder to get away with things we shouldn't... which is a bad thing, apparently.
