"At this point in time, Australia is getting it wrong and they should lead by example, they should actually value whistleblowers for who they are and what they are trying to do for society and not try to damage them — because then nobody else can speak out," he said. Whispli has amassed a global user base of government agencies and businesses who subscribe to its platform so that employees can anonymously report information about poor behaviour. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Qantas and Save the Children are among the local companies to have signed up to the platform.

Whispli, which turns over less than $10 million, secured a $2.8 million seed round last year with investment from eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, as well as backing from Blackbird and AirTree Ventures.

The devastating moment that the war against ivory began to unravelAustralia has finally banned its domestic ivory trade but is it enough? Fucking humans and their incessant need to collect things from animals because they say it’s worth money. It’s disgusting and proof that humans are nothing but disgusting parasites who just take and do damage when they try to fix what they did. It needs to stop at the coalface.
