Didn't know where else to post this, but it's pretty emblematic of how deeply corrupt our society is. Let me know if you think there's a better community to post this in.

Back to the subject, the Streisand Effect is in force (taken down video reuploaded). This is me doing my small part in that.

Well in Australia whistle blowers don't

Well that fucking sucks! Someone should probably get on that!

But it's not just for pollies, like if I'm before Parliament presenting something or say making a submission in favour of legalising weed or whatever and I admit to a crime I'm also protected.

Good point, hadn't thought about that. Should be immunity for "civilians" coming before Parliament, then, but still not for the politicians themselves. That would probably work..
