"This week we were outside the office of Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. We need real change & protection of whistleblowers who are doing their duty & political prisoners."

'“Our key argument in the High Court is that there have to be some circumstances where disobeying orders is in the public interest and is the moral and legal thing to do,” said his lawyer, Eddie Lloyd.'

'LOCKED UP For Exposing War Crimes In Afghanistan!'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scp8cEeMO7w
'David McBride, an Australian military lawyer, was imprisoned for leaking classified information exposing war crimes by the Australian Defense Force in Afghanistan, after all internal reporting avenues failed. His legal team argues that he acted in the public interest and upheld the rule of law, especially by challenging unethical leadership and a shift in rules of engagement that endangered soldiers and shielded war criminals.'
'Guest host Misty Winston and Jimmy speak with attorney and Australian Greens senate candidate Eddie Llloyd about how, despite no prosecutions of those implicated in the war crimes, McBride now faces over five years in prison, a sentence his supporters are fighting in Australia's High Court. McBride’s case is framed as part of a broader global attack on whistleblowers, truth-tellers, and press freedom, with calls for international support and solidarity.'

David McBride Appeal: Judgment Day Rally

Speeches by Joe Lauria, Jeff Morris, Bill Brown, Kathryn Kelly, and John Shipton.
28 May 2025, Supreme Court Canberra
Jeff Morris: "David has always said, and it's important to understand this:
He was not hunting corporals, he was hunting generals.
And that is why they've gone after David McBride so viciously, because of the threat that he poses to the establishment."
McBride's lawyer, Eddie Lloyd:
"I think that what people do miss about David McBride - because we do focus on, you know, that he was exposing the knowledge that the leadership had of the war crimes going on below them - but I think what really really irritated the ADF and the government was that David McBride was complaining about the war in its entirety, about the propaganda of the war, about the trillions of dollars wasted of the war, about the many many lives lost in the war.
He was really upset about that and that was like one of his main complaints is look at all this money that we're wasting on here and these lives in this wasted war.
I think the Australian people need to know about this. We know now that we went to that war on a lie and the only reason the war continued was because our forces remained there and US forces and coalition forces remained there.
And McBride who you know wanted to be a soldier since he was 5 years old finally goes does his two has his two great loves being a lawyer and being a soldier turns up to this war and it's just rubbish. It's not what he thought it was. It wasn't him being a proud person fighting to defend his country at all. That's not what the war was when he went there. And he was so disappointed and he felt that we had a right to know what was actually going on.
And I don't think you'd find one Australian out there who would disagree with that. That, you know, we should know what we're fighting and who we're fighting for and what we're fighting for. And that's what David McBride's major concern was. in addition to the unruly conduct of soldiers and the covering up of Majors above him."
Two weeks ago today, David McBride's appeal was heard in court, his legal team headed by Eddie Lloyd.
