    Prolly not, and it really shouldn’t have gotten to the appeal stage, he’s already in jail (I think). Whether or not he intended what followed is moot, he’s a whistleblower in fact and should be protected as such. That he is not is a chilling indictment on the Australian government, and especially the Labor Party, we expect this crap from the Libs, but this is egregious. Yet another reason to vote Green.

        Fair cop, depends on your local situation, still nice to have something other than duopoly.
