Whistleblower Justice Fund The Whistleblower Justice Fund is a national campaign to protect, not prosecute whistleblowers.

The Whistleblower Justice Fund is a national campaign to ensure whistleblowers are protected, not prosecuted. The campaign has been set up by former Senator Rex Patrick to help secure desperately overdue whistleblower protection reforms and fight for the rights of Australian whistleblowers facing court action under existing broken laws. We welcome constructive discussions about protecting whistleblowers, and in order to keep our social media channels a safe and respectful space comments will be hidden or deleted if they are considered to be:

- Abusive, offensive, misleading or unlawful
- Defamatory, offensive, obscene or profane language
- Racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic or sexually explicit
- Conspiracy theories and other assertions not supported by scientific consensus
- Spamming in nature

Please keep your comments considered, respectful, and on-topic. The views, opinions and experiences expressed in user-submitted comments are solely those of the author and do not reflect those of the Whistleblower Justice Fund.

Today, whistleblower David McBride was granted parole and walked out of prison after serving over two years behind bars.

He thanked his family and his supporters, and announced he has been diagnosed with treatable lung cancer, for which he will begin treatment immediately.

We thank David for his courage – he never stood alone.

The fight to better protect whistleblowers – and the right to know – in Australia continues.

Today marks two years since military whistleblower David McBride was imprisoned.

David was jailed not for committing war crimes, but for helping expose them. Two years later, he remains behind bars – and Australia’s whistleblower laws remain broken.

Whistleblowers should be protected, not punished. The truth should never be a crime.

Free David McBride.

A strong step forward in Parliament this week.

WJF was proud to help coordinate the launch of the Parliamentary Friends of Whistleblowers, a new forum for MPs and Senators from across the political spectrum to engage on the importance of whistleblowing and stronger protections for people who speak up.

We were especially pleased to arrange a keynote from award-winning ABC journalist Adele Ferguson AM, who spoke about the critical role whistleblowers play in public interest journalism. WJF founder and former senator Rex Patrick also spoke, alongside advocates and experts from across the sector.

A big win for transparency today.

The Albanese Government has dumped its own FOI secrecy bill after months of sustained public and political pressure. WJF is proud to have played a central role in helping make the cost of this Bill impossible for Labor to ignore.

This win is proof that organised public pressure works. We need to continue the fight to strengthen – not weaken – Australia's FOI system under this and future governments.
