@Rock57; sad but apparently true story from a courageous whistle-blower which I've referenced before on this forum.

You've reminded me that Australia has joined China as one of those countries which harasses and persecutes whistle-blowers, even raiding journalists' homes and having a word to the bosses of employers whose workers are making statements at odds with government propaganda. As for the protection Australia has provided to our most famous whistle-blower, Julian Assange; boy do we have egg on our faces!

@Lapdog
What a shame your beloved Labor party didn't help Assange when he first sought refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy?
