Australia Becoming 'Police State' Over Whistleblowers
A Current Affair, Published on 15 Aug 2019
Australians have been warned the country is becoming a "police state" by efforts to silence whistleblowers who act in the public interest.
Federal MP Andrew Wilkie was once a whistleblower. As an intelligence officer, he was concerned Australian troops were about to join the US invasion of Iraq in a hunt for weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.
History would prove him right, but his decision to speak up cost him dearly.
