'Since coming to power, the Albanese Government, which seemed keen on transparency as an Albanese opposition, has embraced secrecy. They’ve done so in a much slyer way than the Morrison Government did – Morrison never promoted transparency as a good thing. Albanese does whilst simultaneously trying to kill it off.
Whistleblowing is a form of transparency – where the insider who can see all, or most, acts on information that is normally hidden. The Albanese Government has actively prosecuted whistleblowers in a campaign to discourage whistleblowing.'
