To Australian citizens he is a hero. To the Australian Government, he is an enemy. Non disclosure of illegal activity regardless of established authorities is obstruction of justice. Here we have supposed impartial court blinded by bias. The law in of itself is illegal.

Agree 110%! This sentence is an absolute travesty and shows the Australian court system is as much of a joke as ours here in America! Being punished for exposing the truth shows McBride as a real human being and not a fake! The Fakes (Australian govt included), whether it's here in America or anywhere, will do anything (measure) possible to prevent their crimes from being exposed! And since McBride did the right thing the courts in Australia showed how little they care in regards to the victims of the crimes he was making known! But it's also further proof as to how coddled perpetrators are as opposed to the victim! To me David McBride did exactly what he should have!

Wow, the Aistralian government literally threw one of its own soldiers in jail because America told it to. This is just sad.

Come on, Australia! It's a crime against humanity to imprison an innocent person for speaking the truth.

SAME INTEREST THAT PASSED THE LAW ESTABLISHED THE COURT

The conviction of David McBride, who courageously exposed alleged war crimes, calls for immediate attention; his imprisonment is a stark reminder of the need to protect whistleblowers who act in the public interest. It is imperative that we advocate for his freedom, ensuring that those who speak the truth are not silenced but celebrated for their integrity

There are two types of justices; one for legalising and justifying horrific war crimes and the other for the rich and powerful who act above the law!!

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

GOVERNMENT : We want the whistle blowers to come forward with confidence. As long as it suits the narrative

This is so WRONG, how can justice fail so terribly against David in this way. He is going to jail like a criminal when he should be getting the Australian of the Year honour. He is the type of moral and decent person we wish our children will be when they become adults. Can King Charles do something useful and free David?

Same as Julian assange - report the crimes of others and you go to jail not them.

It’s so disgusting.

This is absolutely disgusting.

Shame to put in jail the one that reveals the crimes and not the criminals. I didn't expect anything better from Australia. Think of Julian Assange.

The system has been over years been set up to protect the pollies the wealthy elite and of course our relationship with the United States, the pollies and their wealthy friends have armies of lawyers to protect themselves for decades so I wouldn't be holding my breath for change anytime soon if you are hoping for change well expect to be a lot older and greyer by the time it might happen.

@aflairforthedramatics to become a politician well firstly a person needs connections with you guessed it a political party so their in itself is the problem the major political parties are very much tied to the yanks they have way too much tied up with the US to accept someone who would want to change the system. Then there are the few independents like Andrew Wilkie who is at the end of the day a one man band so the two major political parties just push back bigtime as for people winging about pollies well that ain't going to change so the shitshow keeps on going.

He did. Primarily because the single complaint he filed was rejected, so he spent over 18 months copying and taking ADF documents and files and then releasing them to the ABC. Not sure if a single attempt of trying to raise a concern is justifiable but also not sure other attempts would have been summarily dismissed either. It’s a fine line with these types of cases I think. One thing is for sure, whistleblower laws need a complete overhaul and better reporting methods are required as well as better protections. I’m just not sure how you blow the whistle on something like this, which has National security implications as gathering the evidence is always going to be illegal I would think?
