Misha Ketchell discusses with Macca and Nevena Whistle-blower laws in Australia
David McBride, a former Australian military lawyer, was jailed in May 2024 for leaking secret documents that exposed alleged war crimes by Australian special forces in Afghanistan. While Ben Roberts-Smith was implicated in these crimes, he has not been imprisoned, though he was arrested in April 2026 for war crimes and lost a civil defamation case where a judge found him involved in murders.
Misha discusses the consequences in Australia of being a whistle-blower and how it differs so dramatically from many other Western countries.
