So we've got the government prosecuting whistleblower David McBride after he revealed war crimes in Afghanistan, which of course have been the subject of the Brereton report. There's no question what he claimed did occur. We also know of Richard Boyle, who called out the improper use of garnishee notices. He blew the whistle and he is being prosecuted. What is the public interest in prosecuting these whistleblowers?
