I have also read that his initial motivation was that of some soldiers being unfairly targeted. This however would only be problematic if one equates soldiers with war criminals. Source friendlyjordies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdYYIVoCvsM Roughly around 17th minute

australia really is a journalist hellhole. Also may I ask how is this hilarious? It seems to me that you take poor sources and draw brainless conclusions just as intended. But trying to make whistleblowers seem bad is always very interesting

I don't know anything about this case, but friendlyjordies is literally claiming that the woke lefties are trying to throw this man in prison for opposing women's inclusion in the armed services and that they're too busy reporting on new genders to report on war crimes. Like that is literally what he is saying. There has got to be a better investigation on this.
