So the judge ruled that members of the ADF should simply follow orders despite McBride trying to follow correct ADF procedure for a couple of years. I'm sure that "following orders" will go down with the international community.

Were there judgements finally leveled against those who committed the ear crimes?

Surely there's a legal protection for defence of human rights.

Goverments every where are unethical. He shoud have fled to Russia

[@joshaskew5035]

Ah yes Russia, notoriously ethical lmao what are you on. Also he did hide abroad for a while, he came home so he could see his daughters again and to bring attention to the war crimes. He came home knowing he would go to jail, he is a hero therefore he is an enemy of the state.

Not much in the way of news or analysis for all that spectrum allocation. Might be worth simply having acma remove FTA spectrum allocation bidding in the future and free up this space for useful work.

Duty to follow orders is above public interest...
