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.

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

Whistleblowers protect democracy. Australia must protect truth-tellers, not punish them.

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

Julian Assange warned of this as early as 2017.

Australia's true capital?

Julian Assange in 2016: ‘Australia is a suburb of Washington, D.C.’ Engage directly with the US for decisions affecting us.

Your right to know is your power. ✊ The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act gives you the legal right to access government documents, from reports and policies to files about you.

You can learn more about your freedom of information from The Information Rights Project.

🗣Julian Assange on The Holberg Debate in 2017: “Propaganda, Facts and Fake News”.

Do you agree with Julian Assange that AI is a threat to humanity?

🎙️ Julian Assange in 2015, a decade ago, and it's still true today. Freedom of speech needs protection.
