The High Court has refused to hear tax office whistleblower Richard Boyle's appeal. It means he will now face criminal trial – all for telling the truth.

Richard Boyle is being prosecuted after blowing the whistle on unethical debt recovery practices at the Australian Taxation Office and has been vindicated by several independent inquiries. Despite this, he faces years in jail.

It's cold-hard proof that the laws meant to protect whistleblowers are broken. They failed war crimes whistleblower David McBride who is now in prison. And now they're failing Richard Boyle.

The Attorney General has acknowledged the laws do not work. Now, he is the only thing standing between Boyle and trial. The Attorney General must use his power to drop the prosecution against Richard Boyle and fix the broken laws once and for all.

Intense public pressure forced the Attorney General to drop an unjust prosecution once before. Now, we need him to do it again.
