Two more Australian whistleblowers on trial - by hrlc.org.au

(HRLC = Human Rights Law Centre). We recently reported on retaliatory proceedings brought by ClubsNSW against its former head of AML/CTF compliance, Troy Stolz. The NSW Crime Commission are now investigating ClubsNSW in the context of cash from drug deals pumped through the pokies being the money laundering method of choice, and we expect that gambling will soon go cashless in that State. But Stolz has already been buried in legal costs that forced the sale of his house and is still being pursued by ClubsNSW despite a terminal cancer diagnosis.

A couple of other whistleblowers, Richard Boyle and David McBride have similarly been pursued by their former employers, the Australian Tax Office and Australian Army respectively. Here's the HRLC article:

We briefly mentioned the Stolz, Boyle and McBride matters in this 23 June 2021 article. We are now watching this with renewed interest because in addition to researching New Zealand employment law (probably of little interest to Australians), we also examine how money is laundered in New Zealand and believe the method of choice to be highly confidential settlement agreements under Section 149 of the Employment Relations Act 2000, which the courts seem to be prepared to enforce. We now appear to be witnessing the early stages of a smear campaign against Caroline Sawyer, a lawyer who brought the method to the New Zealand Law Society's attention, and left the country two years ago following threats including a professional burglary.
