Richard Boyle and the ATO - Analysis with Adele Ferguson
Manage episode 425459979 series 2902253
On Wednesday, former ATO debt collector turned whistle-blower Richard Boyle lost his bid to avoid prosecution over information he collected about practices at the organisation's South Australian office.
Mr Boyle tried to help a number of small business owners he believed were being treated unfairly, eventually taking his concerns to the media.
He now faces the likelihood of a criminal trial, and potentially a long jail sentence, one of several high profile prosecutions which highlight the lack of protections for whistle blowers.
