| #3 This is why I am so fanatical about free speech and why I like wikileaks despite the obvious problems with it. You mean by "obvious problems", the people that will die because the information was released? |

This pilot will never get work again. And for what? Because he did the right thing. He spoke out against a practice that he believes will one day lead to falling safety standards and an eventual plane crash. This happens ALL THE TIME in Australia. If you are employed as a casual and they even suspect you spoke out against something wrong in the workplace you are just sacked and they won't even tell you why. |
