#Breaking and Shocking - David McBride has been sentenced to 5 years jail with 2 1/2 years non-parole.

A chill just washed down the spines of truth tellers across the country.

What you get for trying to hold power to account in Australia

Breaking: David McBride (David McBride) has been sentenced to almost 6 years' imprisonment for leaking documents to the ABC which formed the basis for the Afghan Files reporting. This is a dark day for our democracy & will have a grave chilling effect on potential whistleblowers

Watching the RockliffTeamMedia pledge allegiance to the Parliamentary code of conduct elicits many reactions…

Despairing giggles, fury at the lack of integrity, and just a little bit of vomit at the back of my mouth…

If only there was a viable avenue to hold them to it huh.…

Is this a thing that happens elsewhere? In fed parliament?

Nick Feik ?

At 0930am this morning in Canberra, we will really see where the Albanese Government sits in relation to Whistleblowers. We will also see how much control the US has on our sovereignty. David McBride should not be fighting for his freedom. #protect whistleblowers #freeMcBride

I thought I was getting used to being Tasmanian, but WTAF?! We're paying politicians to go to church to what? Pray they start taking action on child abuse, health funding, education etc?! Go to work! Legislate! Church is irrelevant, or it should be 🤬 #politas #auspol

The press conference for David McBride has begun. There is a chill in the air but the sun is coming up behind the court. Please come on down and fill the court at 9:30am to bear witness to the judgment of McBride #McBride #auspol ⁦Anthony Albanese⁩ ⁦Mark Dreyfus⁩

JLN MPs will back Michelle O’Byrne for speaker. Between Labor, the Greens, the JLN, and David O’Byrne, that’s 19 votes. #politas

Such a scandal but officials scrambling for cover. Dark days for these poor kids.

Having enough alleged child sex offenders from one workplace to form a class action OF alleged OFFENDERS re how hard done by they’ve been by literally facing no accountability, is a solid sign there shouldn’t be a class action.

#politas #auspol

Oversight bodies working, even if it’s too little too late, has become a miraculous event to observe.
