This is the best explanation of the case in full context I've seen.

I'm gutted. Devastated.

The abc is not biased at all in this, no. They're not the ones he leaked to.

You make it sound like he accidentally leaked evidence of war crimes. He leaked evidence of war crimes comitted by generals as well as boots on the ground but somehow the abc's top 'investigative reporters' ie gov't stenographers are still missing that.

...is like something you'd expect from a dictatorship. Are we the bad guys, actually?

Please elaborate?

100%, it's total BS! Kafka coulnot have come up with this farce.

Remember how in November the court ruled on the definition of 'duty'? Michael West reports that if McBride gets a prison sentence on Tuesday, there will likely be an appeal:

If there is a custodial sentence, sources told MWM the defence is likely to appeal on grounds that Justice Mossop’s decision to strike out of McBride’s public interest defence was too narrow, that army lawyers had a duty to the court and the public interest, not just to obey orders if they considered the orders were wrong.

Military whistleblower David McBride at the end of an exhausting day in court. Sentencing adjourned to Tues 14th May, 9.30am. Please be there!

That's certainly a big part of it.

Thanks!

What I don't understand is how the case wasn't thrown out by the justice when he wasn't allowed to see the docs that were then put in the safe. THIS IS NOT A FAIR TRIAL. The defendent is prevented from presenting potentially exculpatory evidence, even to a closed court!
