@BernardKeane what are the practical effects of that? does it mean it can't be used as evidence on proceedings?

@FarrellPF I don't see what the practical effect is - assumes the AFP would make some a priori decision that something is "legitimate"? -
@BernardKeane plus you would have to satisfy the extremely onerous thresholds in the PID regime. -
@FarrellPF yep. none of the stories in that a article today would be "legitimate whistle blowing" despite being in the public interest -
@BernardKeane@FarrellPF Dr@SueletteD might know the answer to this. -
@RyanSheales@BernardKeane@FarrellPF My takeaway: anonymity is still the best protection for whistleblowers, despite advances in protection

@BernardKeane interesting that Snowden actualy meets all of those tests. -
@jagungal1 true, though the PID doesn't apply to our intelligence officials except in limited circumstances -
@BernardKeane would be interesting to see if it does cover unconstitutional and illegal actions. Apparently he did report internally first.
