Why would anyone truly believe that the lawmakers would make law against their ‘brethren’ in government, encouraging the exposing of corruption or illegal, oops ‘alleged’ corruption or illegal activities?
They wouldn’t!
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013, allegedly gives protections to those exposing corruption, but the reality is totally different.
See Act within the following link:
https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2013A00133/latest/text
The Act is structured in such a way that Attorney-General’s Deportment, Review of Secrecy Provision, Final Report states the following:
“the Review’s view is that the disclosure of information that harms the effective working of government undermines the Australian community’s trust in government and the ability of Commonwealth departments and agencies to deliver policies and programs. It is appropriate that conduct which causes or is likely to cause prejudice to the effective working government be captured.”
See link to the Review of Secrecy Provisions, Final Report, 21 Nov 2023 within the link:
https://www.ag.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-11/secrecy-provisions-review-final-report.pdf
Notice how in the first sentence, it is stated that it is the “Review’s” view, an inanimate object and not a person or author by name.
In the old days did they state that it is the pencil’s view or typewriter’s view?
The above highlighted text can be read as:
if you knew what we do behind closed doors, you’d NEVER trust us again! So let’s cover up any sort of exposé.
What a pathetic government!
In any event, since the burden of proof is on the accuser, if one was to be prosecuted under said Act, then the First question would be; Is that Act in circulation lawfully, as opposed to legally, or a Section 78B (of the Judiciary Act 1903).
Australia, the secretive police state.
The system is not broken, it’s functioning exactly the way the law makers want it to.
