Conclusion
98․ The appellant has not established error in the primary judge’s conclusion in order 1(a) of
McBride (No 2) that the oath of enlistment taken by the appellant does not define the
duty of the appellant for the purposes of s 73A of the Defence Act and s 70 of the Crimes
Act as extending to acting in the Australian public interest, even where in contravention
of a lawful order. Nor has he established error in the primary judge’s conclusion in order
1(b) of McBride (No 2) that a lawful order contained in a “general order”, within the
meaning of the Discipline Act, may define the scope of the duty of the accused under
s 73A of the Defence Act and s 70 of the Crimes Act. To put it another way relevant to
this case, a communication of the type referred to in s 73A or s 70 may not be in the
course of a person’s “official duty” if that person was under a duty (which arises from,
inter alia, general orders) not to make that communication.
99․ Accordingly, the appeal against conviction is dismissed.

Translation: there are no public interest exceptions for not keeping the ADF's dirty secrets. #Nuremberg does not apply in #auspol.

    Stop prosecuting Richard Boyle and pardon David McBride.
    Accelerate reform of our broken whistleblower protection laws.
    Establish a whistleblower protection authority.

Stop prosecuting whistleblowers!

It's 4 weeks today since @davidmcbride.bsky.social's day in the Appeals Court, Canberra. He is waiting in gaol for the court's decision.

The government could free him now and #pardonMcBride. #auspol

Please contact the Attorney General.
Tell the government to stop abusing the law.👇🏼

Have you had a chance to send a letter or postcard to David? Written your local MP or Senator? Let the Attorney General know of your concerns? It doesn't have to be an essay. Every message, however short or long, counts.

"The reason I became a whistleblower was: what I saw in the Australian military was so bad, and they weren't going to fix themselves and something had to be done about it." - David McBride @davidmcbride.bsky.social

Sign the Petition Pardon David McBride and Protect Whistleblowers

We need people to be able to safely report criminal/corrupt behaviour without fear of being sent to prison.

(How very weird this Govt, which once said it was all about transparency, thinks otherwise.)

Feel free to add your name if you agree.
