Speaking up when you see something wrong is too hard in Australia.
People who’ve spoken up about corporate fraud and dodgy government deals, and even those who’ve exposed war crimes, have faced life-altering consequences.

Today, senior lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre of Australia and contributor to The Saturday Paper Kieran Pender on how we can help the people who expose wrongdoing.
