Tjanara Goreng Goreng was convicted, lost her public service career and was declared bankrupt after leaking confidential information in 2006 relating to the Northern Territory's Mutitjulu community. Now she wants to be an ACT Greens Senator to stand up for other whistleblowers and others who may come forward.
The Canberra Times can reveal the Greens, seeking to hold the balance of power in the 47th parliament, are campaigning on a public interest election policy to strengthen whistleblower protection laws and allow public servants to engage in political advocacy and activism outside of work.
