This morning David McBride is in ACT Supreme Court to put an application for immunity from prosecution. Despite his revelations being validated by the Brereton report, today he is the only one charged in relation to this inquiry.
Click here to tweet your support for David and remind him that 75,000 of us believe in him.
The Independent Australia covered our petition: that “a petition on Change.org has gathered more than 74,000 signatures calling on the Australian Government to drop the charges against McBride. At 75,000 signatures, this petition will become one of the top-signed petitions on this platform. The organiser of this petition, Afghan-Australian lawyer Arezo Safi, has also called on the Attorney-General to discontinue McBride’s prosecution.”
Thank you for your continued support. Please keep sharing the petition.
The article also reports that “the ADF has argued that McBride is not protected under the PID Act because one of the files he leaked to the ABC contained ‘maps of Afghan’ that could cause ‘serious damage to our national security."
Even if on technical grounds, David can’t be granted immunity, the Attorney-General has the power to drop all charges against him.
Tweet your support and urge Mark Dreyfus to drop the charges.
Thank you
