Submission to Public Interest Disclosure Act Review
The Human Rights Law Centre’s submission to the Attorney-General’s Department review of the Public Interest Disclosure (PID) Act, the federal law protecting public servant whistleblowers, calls for a substantial overhaul of the laws.
In addition to a major overhaul of the law, the submission also calls for the establishment of an independent whistleblower protection authority, and wider reform to other federal laws protecting private sector and non-profit sector whistleblowers improve transparency and accountability in Australia’s democracy.
