After tax lawyer Tony Watson blew the whistle on Lendlease, the ATO audited them and has now sent them a $112M tax bill. Meanwhile Tony has lost everything and has to sell his house - for his good deed. The Govt has given Tony NO support. #shameful #auspol abc.net.au/news/2024-05-2…

#Breaking and Shocking - David McBride has been sentenced to 5 years jail with 2 1/2 years non-parole.

A chill just washed down the spines of truth tellers across the country.

Can anyone say that David McBride’s prosecution and sentencing makes Australia a better place? #auspol #WhistleBlowers theguardian.com/media/commenti…

I am standing outside the ACT Supreme Court with a crowd of supporters on a day where David McBride may become the first person jailed in relation to war crimes committed in Afghanistan. But he’s the whistleblower! How did we get here? It’s not my Australia. #auspol

Doctors have an honour system to bill. More evidence it needs to be policed - Adele Ferguson Dr Margaret Faux

Thx ⁦josutherland⁩ for adding insight re the Medicare billing issue in Australia. I know u value the integrity of ur specialty & medical profession as a whole - a needed conversation. ⁦Mark Butler MP⁩ ⁦Adele Ferguson⁩ ⁦ANZCA⁩ abc.net.au/news/2024-05-0…

This really is superb work from ⁦Adele Ferguson⁩ and the ABC Investigations team. It’s hard to see how Government can ignore this, or brush it off as “isolated incidents”. Don’t forget, we can check billing ourselves on our Medicare app. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-0…
