On 14th March 2025 this segment of Rights, Rorts and Rants went to air. Mike Holland briefly covered three high profile whistleblowers who have been generally subjected to detrimental treatment, financial ruin, jail time and psychological suffering at the hands of their employers and the media. The ill-treatment directed at employees who bring cases involving wrongdoing into public light has led Senators Jacqui Lambie and David Pocock to address this by sponsoring a Senate bill on 11 February 2025 namely the "Whistleblower Protection Authority Bill 2025 (No. 2)". Dr Helen Haines MP and Andrew Wilkie MP also introduced the bill which will, if passed, establish an independent body with the power to enforce whistleblower protections and safeguard whistleblowers, among other things. The bill has been referred to a committee with reporting back on 29 August 2025.The radio show was first broadcast on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1 FM on 14 March 2025 by Blue Mountains Unions & Community and presented by Fran Dyson.
