description The important role that whistleblowers play in exposing corporate misconduct in Australia has been highlighted by a number of recent scandals. Whistleblowers have been central to uncovering impropriety in leading Australian companies including the Reserve Bank of Australia, Note Printing Australia, Leighton Holdings, Tabcorp, the Commonwealth Bank, the NAB, CommInsure and 7-Eleven.² Many of the whistleblowers involved in these cases experienced retaliation, redundancy, dismissal, workplace ostracism and negative publicity as a result. Regrettably these consequences are not unusual, and have led to pressure for reform of Australia’s private sector whistleblowing laws, contained in Pt 9.4AAA of theCorporationsAct 2001
