Anthony Albanese Scott Morrison:

'Ultimately the oversight panel will be the government's - and the public's - independent body to ensure that Defence is making the changes recommended by the (Brereton) inquiry to help ensure we can address any underlying issues.'

Interesting that it's now the Albanese government that is suppressing the final report of the Afghanistan Inquiry Implementation Oversight Panel, which was set up explicitly to be *the public's* oversight body. This is the reality of Mr Albanese's 'accountability & transparency.'

If any legacy media journo is willing or able to penetrate the secrecy of the 'Afghanistan Inquiry Implementation Oversight Panel', it would be interesting to see what they made of the realisation that Brereton's findings re command responsibility were so seriously flawed, the

Interesting ti note that the sections on 'command accountability' (incl section headings) have been all but completely redacted in these FOI docs from the Defence Afghanistan Inquiry Implementation 'Oversight' Panel. Tells you everything you need to know.

'Australia can do better. This is just not good enough. We can't keep hiding and pushing down issues that have obviously got red flags all over them.' Sarah McBride

The Project on the shameful treatment of military whistleblower David McBride, including an interview with the mother of his two daughters, his former wife Sarah, who has stood by him 100% Whistleblowing is a family affair, it exacts a dreadful toll on all youtu.be/rTUS-BkAc6E?si…

Pretty much sums up the press gallery's mindless obsession with outrage over trivia while they censor substantive stories such as an ICC referral, because 'government sources say (blah).'

This is the same bloke using the Brereton Report as a figleaf to protect the generals' club from accountability, and for six months buried a report that demolishes Brereton, until his government jailed David McBride. 'But I'm spending lots of money.'

The war crimes that a) the Rudd-Gillard government were informed about and b) turned a blind eye to, occured before the decade you're referring to. By jailing David McBride while ignoring command/superior responsibility, Albanese's motivation is simply to keep his mates out of…

Stuart McCarthy 💧Bee🐝🐀 The AG needs to grant David McBride a pardon now

Something for every Australian to consider is that these events were brought to light by ADF veterans, and when our government refused to address the command responsibility failures reinforced in this report, we already (last year) referred the matter to the International

'This is about our democracy, where we're heading as a country. And it is an indictment on this Labor government that they talk such a big game when it comes to transparency,  whistleblower protections, and yet are jailing the whistleblower and continuing the prosecution of

Stuart McCarthy And should we really have Paul Brereton in charge of the NACC while it investigates more high ranking Army officers over the Omni Black Ops outfit? We need to accept the Army is broken and remove their influence and control over investigations into its crimes

Stuart McCarthy An opportunity for Australia to retrieve some of its' rapidly diminishing credibility.
Will they take it?

Unlikely.

'Crossbenchers have called for the prime minister and attorney-general to pardon David McBride, who was sentenced earlier this week to nearly six years behind bars for leaking classified information.'

Some of Australia's 'Walkley Award winning investigative journalists' were actually reporting on SOTG from Afghanistan around the time McBride was there, but have since consciously decided to perpetuate the ADF/govt 'we didn't know/rogue soldiers' propaganda narratives for them.

Adele Ferguson is a glimmer of hope at the ABC. How Adele can produce a fair, balanced & accurate report on the McBride case in a 15-minute podcast like this - but the best #4Corners could do was a politically compliant trash piece - still beggars belief.

This report was submitted to #auspol Defence Minister Richard Marles on 8 November 2023, then after months of stonewalling (and by sheer coincidence), Marles approved its tabling in the Senate on Tuesday ... the same day David McBride was jailed for five years for exposing…
