In relation to these amendments, the Greens oppose any watering down of whistleblower protections. The royal commission showed us that people must feel safe to speak up when something is wrong, particularly in a sector like aged care. The widest number of people should be protected by whistleblower protections. This means participants and workers should feel safe to disclose to whomever they feel most comfortable. For these reasons we don't support the narrowing of these protections. We won't support these amendments.
