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.
