Whistleblowers and journalists play a crucial role in scrutinising the powerful and holding them to account. The revelations by Edward Snowden have transformed our understanding of how sweeping digital surveillance techniques capture personal information about all of us. They have also exposed the immense dangers faced by whistleblowers in exposing illegality by governments, with Snowden having fled the US and currently residing in Russia. This MEAA and The Walkley Foundation special event, in partnership with Blueprint for Free Speech, features US whistleblower Thomas Drake, a former senior executive of the US National Security Agency, together with Edward Snowden’s US defence attorney Jesselyn Radack in discussion with ABC broadcaster Quentin Dempster.
