Hi all,

Just letting you know that I’ve sent the Attorney-General our petition link in this email:

“To The Attorney-General of Australia
The Hon Christian Porter MP

Dear Mr Porter,

I am writing to you to request that charges against Witness K & Bernard Collaery be dropped. 

To-date, some 39k people believe that there should be protection from prosecution for whistleblowers of conscience, who report government wrongdoing without threatening national security. And not forgetting the counsel who represent them: http://chng.it/9CjbxTbm

The signatories to this live petition all agree that it is in the public’s interest to know whenever laws are violated by our elected officials, or when they behave in an unethical & fraudulent fashion.

In June 2018, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions filed criminal charges against Witness K & his lawyer, Bernard Collaery for essentially exposing the truth of Australia’s bad behaviour towards an ally & a newly independent country struggling to get its people out of poverty.

Given no national security interest was jeopardised - as the delay in prosecution so attests - by either Witness K or Mr Collaery, we ask that you drop these unnecessary charges & stop the closed proceedings, which only seem to be leading Australia down the path towards a police state. 

We look forward to your consideration & action on this matter.”

Feel free to write your own letters to Mr Porter:

Be sure to provide your full name & address if you do.

Go well, Rohini

PS Attached, some interesting guidelines for corporate & not-for-profit whistleblowers.
