ANALYSIS: 'They should go to jail for that': Will security tsar's words have a 'chilling effect'?
Only the most altruistic and fearless public servants wanting to blow the whistle on the Government would do so.
And that's where the concern about the"chilling" effect the raids and police investigations, coupled with Mr Pezzullo's edict, flows from. The ABC's Afghan Files stories in 2017 gave an unprecedented insight into the operations of Australia's elite special forces, detailing incidents of troops killing unarmed men and children and concerns about a"warrior culture" among soldiers.
The Home Affairs boss would no doubt differentiate his comments to the committee with how he would react to other leaks, considering his further comments that Smethurst's story was entirely wrong and misconstrued the briefing document she based her reporting on.Regardless, we must remember there are two police raids that prompted this parliamentary inquiry., by the ABC's Dan Oakes and Sam Clark was flawed.
Yet an investigation into the leak was still launched, and the public broadcaster's offices raided in search of evidence to find the culprit.
