Help stop Labor’s secrecy bill!
The Albanese Government’s FOI Amendment Bill 2025 will entrench secrecy — locking out journalists, Parliament, and the public from decisions made in our name.
Thanks in large part to our campaign, the Coalition, Greens and independents united to oppose the bill in the House. But now it moves to the Senate — and the Government will be working behind closed doors to win the votes needed to pass it.
We need your help to ensure Senators hold the line.
Your donation today will fund the next stage of the fight:
-
Travel to meet Senators face-to-face and urge them to vote no
-
Launch a public campaign to show voters are watching
-
Build a civil society coalition to join us in demanding the bill be scrapped
This campaign is working — but we can’t afford to stop now.
Will you chip in today to help stop the secrecy bill in the Senate?
Our campaign
Since the Freedom of Information Amendment Bill 2025 was announced in September 2025, Whistleblower Justice Fund has been working alongside leading anti-corruption, journalism, and human rights organisations to block this bill. Together we have made submissions and given evidence to the Senate inquiry investigating this bill, launched petitions, and travelled to Parliament House to brief Coalition, Greens, and independent MPs on the dangers of passing this bill. In October, WJF supporters helped fund an ad in The Australian (see below).
This campaign has been incredibly successful – but the real work starts now, as we ensure this bill doesn't pass the Senate.
