David McBride told the truth. Now he’s in jail.

Whistleblowers protect democracy and the public’s right to know. Punishing them silences truth.

Attorney-General Michelle Rowland can act now.

Great to be at the @inforightsproject.bsky.social event on Freedom for the Press. Proud to be in the room alongside so many backers of a free media in Australia, including those supporting Mary Kostakidis in her battle with the Zionist Federation of Australia.

David McBride exposed war crimes. Now he is in jail while those responsible walk free.

What happens when the news is no longer run by people, but by artificial intelligence?

Julian Assange warned of this as early as 2017.

Sharing newsworthy posts on social media shouldn’t be illegal. If we allow legal threats to silence us, vital information coming from conflict zones like Gaza is at risk.

Imagine risking everything to expose war crimes, only to be locked away for it. That's David McBride's reality: a military lawyer silenced for speaking the truth.

Telling the truth shouldn’t come at the cost of your freedom.
Whether it’s journalists, whistleblowers, or ordinary people who speak out, they deserve protection, not punishment.
Standing up for information rights isn’t just about free speech. It’s about defending democracy.

Freedom of speech and chants “Death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]” and “Death, death to the IOF [Israeli Occupying Force]”. Chants that some in the Palestinian support movement in Melbourne used last weekend.

New article by our board member Greg Barns SC, where he explores how chants like “Death to the IDF” are being weaponised to undermine freedom of speech in Australia, and what legal principles we must protect.
