Additional Information

Our citizens blow the whistle about criminal activities and wrongdoing that put the public at risk but due to flaws in our legislation, they are often ignored at huge cost to society (e.g. Covid). 24 years of data show an inconvenient truth:

- The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 has failed to protect whistleblowers with only 4% of their cases succeeding
- Crimes have gone undetected as no statutory provision exists enforcing investigation in the reported wrongdoing.

An Office of the Whistleblower can provide protection and statutory investigation.
