|  Where's The Whistle Blowers Gone? You know, over the past few years I've noticed a tendency developing. It's the shut ya mouth and turn a blind eye tendency. In Qld we had Dr Death who soon will be brought back from hiding in USA to face charges but the whole lot was hushed up. Then we have the Butcher from Bega cutting female genitalia up, some nut cased doctor, do the search and you'll see, even videos of the victims TV interviews. The AMA involved in a cover up. And now hot in is this SA report that their foster child system houses sophisticated pedophile networks! Pedophiles hurt foster children: report - Breaking News - National - Breaking News Quote:
Pedophile Minister Milton Orkopoulos whistle blower sacked So, what is going on? Why is this culture developing? That's the culture of blowing the whistle or exposing some pretty bad stuff being bad, you are the "dobber". We aint talking about smoking in a non smoking area here but in some instances fatal encounters. Seems when a system looks after it's own, like Dr's looking after Dr's or Lawyers looking after Lawyers etc that cover ups and silencing victims occurs.

FEAR! People these days are too frightened of what they have to lose! Instead of doing the right thing, they turn a blind eye because they don't want to get involved. They are frightened they might lose money, time or reputation. Sad really.

| Re: Where's The Whistle Blowers Gone? Shea, Compared to what? Politicians? Teachers? Day Laborers? Tree workers? They're just people like everyone else, I'm sure for many of them it's a means of getting by, a job. Besides, a preacher would quote something like, "Let he among you who is without sin cast the first stone." No wonder you don't like it. Not everyone is a statistic, how can you just demean an entire group of people? (this isn't a defense of pedophiles, its against making blanket statements over groups of people as a whole) They pay whistleblowers over here. But snitches tend to have a rough time. <shrugs>

| Re: Where's The Whistle Blowers Gone? Yeah, Treeseer mentioned they pay them too. In large corps they'd have to protect or incentify people, that's how the Tobacco industry got screwed int he late 90's. Remember Russell Crowe was in a movie about it.

| Re: Where's The Whistle Blowers Gone? Cover ups, silencing victims have become so prevalent because they work. Lawyers lie and twist the law until judges scream uncle. Kill somebody, etc. and often go scott free. Reticence of witnesses/interveners is prevalent because cops have become relegated to just writing crime reports and rarely if ever stop any crimes. We had major racial riots here a few years ago and Drug dealers came in as opportunists and stayed because cops could no longer do their jobs as they got no support from the govt. or judicial system. They had to cover their own asses as no one else was. If John Q. Public wants to point out a crime he better be able to defend himself from the criminal. |
