Blowing the whistle – the cost of courage
September 28 @ 19:30 - 21:00 AEST
Balwyn Library Meeting Room, 336 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn, and on line
HV Public Presentation (hybrid)
Whistleblowers play a critical role in protecting human rights and upholding democratic accountability in our country. But right now, ineffective protections, legal uncertainty and insufficient practical support are discouraging them from speaking up.
Kieran Pender will outline the ground-breaking Whistleblower Project, which combines legal advice and representation, law reform and advocacy, a first for Australia, and will compare it with practices in other countries. He is a senior lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre.
