New whistleblower protections tabled in parliament

Under the bill, a whistleblower protection authority will be established to oversee and enforce protections, facilitate disclosures, and safeguard whistleblowers from inside government or businesses that expose corruption and wrongdoing.

“Whistleblowers have helped reveal the harmful and unlawful robodebt scheme, elder abuse in the aged care sector, PwC scandal, just to name a few..." independent MP Helen Haines said.
