An Open Letter to Attorney-General the Hon Michelle Rowland (re: David McBride)


  • David McBride was a military lawyer who served his country with integrity: both in uniform and under oath. When he witnessed wrongdoing during Australia’s military operations in Afghanistan, he acted according to his duty and his conscience.


  • He spoke out because it was the right thing to do and only went to the media when he was ignored by his superiors.


  • What did he get in return?


  • Not recognition. Not reform. But persecution.


  • Today David McBride is behind bars. He is being punished for exposing war crimes. His conviction sends a chilling message: that telling the truth is against the law, and that those who blow the whistle will be punished.


  • This isn't just about David. This is about your right to know about what the Australian Government is doing in your name with your money.


  • We need action. Not later, but now.


  • We're calling for:
  • - David McBride’s freedom
  • - Ending the persecution of whistleblowers


  • It's time to take a stand with David.


  • Whistleblowers shouldn't be persecuted.


  • They should be protected.


  • Sincerely,


  • The Information Rights Project

An Open Letter to Attorney-General the Hon Michelle Rowland

David McBride was a military lawyer who served his country with integrity: both in uniform and under oath. When he witnessed wrongdoing during Australia’s military operations in Afghanistan, he acted according to his duty and his conscience.

He spoke out because it was the right thing to do and only went to the media when he was ignored by his superiors.

And what did he get in return?

Not recognition. Not reform. But persecution.

Today David McBride is behind bars. He is being punished for exposing war crimes. His conviction sends a chilling message: that telling the truth is against the law, and that those who blow the whistle will be punished.

This isn't just about David. This is about your right to know about what the Australian Government is doing in your name with your money.

We need action. Not later, but now.

We're calling for:

  • David McBride’s freedom

  • Ending the persecution of whistleblowers

It's time to take a stand with David.

Whistleblowers shouldn't be persecuted.

They should be protected.

Free David McBride. Stand with the truth. Sign the open letter today.
