A report critical of Australian generals’ leadership in Afghanistan was given to the Defence Minister Richard Marles in November 2023, but was not published until after the McBride sentencing. Stuart McCarthy on a travesty of justice.
I wonder if any of the mainstream media will challenge him on this. Would this help McBride’s appeal?
Prolly not, and it really shouldn’t have gotten to the appeal stage, he’s already in jail (I think). Whether or not he intended what followed is moot, he’s a whistleblower in fact and should be protected as such. That he is not is a chilling indictment on the Australian government, and especially the Labor Party, we expect this crap from the Libs, but this is egregious. Yet another reason to vote Green.
I tend to vote independent, but I’m interested to see if the Greens expand or retain their gains from the last election at the next one
Fair cop, depends on your local situation, still nice to have something other than duopoly.
