I used to have a pal with an interest in all this .. he was aerated in Brisbane early this century by persons known to them - at their place of safety .. Whistleblowers fare badly in cultures such as ours for obvious reasons. He was pointy end RAN DSD ASIO ASIS AFP ..somewhat of an over achiever ...last contact was namor@afp.gov.au Oddly enough it seems to be still live However it's clear to those with an interest that an op powered by unlimited funds is no match for one powered by children's tears This needs to be general knowledge and many issues will fall away

We also need a class action against State prisons who keep people in solitary as punishment.

1moThe punitive approach with a thirst for justice - part of the problem - part of the solution? Sort of like a war on drugs right? Punishing people, for pushing people… 🤷🏻♂️🤔 Public safety being paramount, there must always be personal responsibility, with a trigger of safety & catalyst for change. Some things require justice, this is how we keep prisons full. Serco who police the, police? Incarceration is a symptom; not a solution.
