The want to 'cook him slowly': ATO whistleblower faces six life sentences won't be protected by laws designed to shield those who lift the lid on abuses by Australia's most powerful bodies | ErykBagshaw

Under a deal reached with the Nick Xenophon Team in 2014 for its support for the union-busting Registered Organisations Commission, the Coalition promised it would push through whistleblowing protections for private and public organisations.

"I think the ATO needs to act in accordance with the philosophy accepted by the government that whistleblowers need to be protected. Mr Jordan appears to have taken a different view."Mr Boyle has previously said he made a 12,000 word disclosure to the Tax Office, but claims this was rejected by the tax office. The Australian Federal Police raided his home days before he went public and only a month after the ATO offered him a settlement to prevent him from speaking out.

In the wake of the revelations, a bipartisan House Standing Committee on Tax and Revenue recommended a new Tax Office charter, an appeals group headed by a second independent commissioner, the transfer of debt-recovery functions into the ATO's compliance operations and a restructure of compensation processes.

"Certainly in our view, the behaviour of the ATO towards Richard is very much an attempt to send a signal: 'We are doing to Richard what we can do to you if you are whistleblower'."

ErykBagshaw That'll teach him for bein a dobber.

ErykBagshaw Seems the Commonwealth DPP made a decision to not prosecute. If so, then the ATO Commissioner Chris Jordan's refusal to accept the decision of the CDPP looks like malicious prosecution and abuse of process.

ErykBagshaw The country mobilized to freeHakeem from a malicious, vengeful power. Now the country must stand to free .Richard_D_Boyle from this malicious, vengeful ATOAbuseOfPower. He demonstrated ATO go after the weak not the big. auspol monitoryDemos

ErykBagshaw This is So wrong on Every Level. Any citizen witnesses a crime & fails to report that Criminal. lets the victim & society DOWN. when police are faced with community outrage over crime's. They usually appeal for public assistance. HERE's ASSISTANCE to every small Business

James Gargasoulas sentenced to life in jailBourke Street killer James Gargasoulas has been jailed for life for what a Victorian judge called “one of the worst examples of mass murder in Australian history”, but will be eligible for parole in 46 years. Life needs to mean life. Parole is a bullshit construct to counter over-population. A lifer should only be paroled from his box when a dead victim can be paroled from theirs. Let’s hope it is 46 long painful years. Scumbag.

Bourke St murderer James Gargasoulas sentenced to life in prisonBourke Street murderer James Gargasoulas is sentenced to a minimum of 46 years in prison for killing six people and injuring 27 others when he drove his car through pedestrians two years ago. He is a modern-day Martin Bryant, used a vehicle instead of firearms. He should never be released Should have been 46 times 6, served back to back, for each of his victims. I blame some of this on the police. Why didn’t they arrest him 12 hours earlier. Were they waiting for something more serious to happen? This is an insult to all those who were scarred by this imbeciles actions.
