#1 This is why I am so fanatical about free speech and why I like wikileaks despite the obvious problems with it.

In Australia, nobody can talk to the media or they lose their jobs. 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.
