Day of the Imprisoned Writer 2024
November 14 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Recent high-profile prosecutions of whistleblowers – Witness K, David McBride, Richard Boyle have shown that blowing the whistle in Australia can land you in jail. What is the cost to our democracy? Keeping the bastards honest has never been more dangerous for whistleblowers and the journalists who bring their stories to light.
