 Our next speaker is a lawyer and former Australian and British Army officer. Major McBride was the whistleblower who provided evidence for war crimes in Afghanistan to the ABC. It takes integrity and courage to be a whistleblower. They're rarely celebrated and more often vilified and imprisoned. Today we have some good news because David McBride has been awarded the Blueprint International Whistleblower Award. It's my pleasure to introduce David McBride. I might have to take this out. Karaoke style. I think there's not much that hasn't been said. I may as well do a bit of comedy. When I was over in Western Australia I got some tips from Mark Jacko Jackson who said that I was a bit stiff and that I should walk around to engage the crowd a bit more. But if I ever get out of jail I might be doing a tour with him I guess. But one of the messages I've got is from our foreign minister Penny Wong. You'll be pleased to know she says she's going to be putting sanctions on those bad countries around the world that don't honour human rights. Good on you Penny. You're an idiot. And I've got another myth and that's not bad enough from Mark Dreyfus who wants to particularly honour a is it human rights day because he's working day and night to make sure people in government if they see something wrong can go to their supervisor and tell them about it. And if the supervisor doesn't do anything they can go to the media. Good on you Mark. The same guy's trying to put me in jail for 100 years. I mean they are pathetic. They really are pathetic. There isn't I would not take anything the Albanese government say seriously. I'm afraid it's it's it's a sad truth. I don't know what the Americans have got on them but in the one yeah it's you know they have committed to unlimited U.S. troops unlimited U.S. troops in Australia. We are now just a U.S. base in Australia and the American troops can commit crimes. They will not be prosecuted under Australian law. And at the same time they are pretending that somehow they care about human rights. Now if we are aligned with the world's greatest abuser of international law and human rights we can't support human rights at the same time. You don't protect Australian sovereignty by giving up Australian sovereignty. It would have been it would have been a fantasy 10 years ago but it's quite the good news is I mean I've got a lot of bad news for you to have to tell you that we are owned by the Americans and I've seen the documents but the good news is people like David Shoebridge the next election could see the Labor Party clean out because what if you believe in the Labor Party principles you would not vote for Albanese and his next time they will be cleaned out and people like David Shoebridge one day may be running this government we might finally have an Australian government who actually stands up for Australia and actually says we'll protect ourselves thank you very much I mean we all know Donald Trump was a bit mad and we know Biden's a bit mad imagine who they're going to have as president in 2040 or in 2090 and guess who's going to be making decisions for Australia yeah Mike Pompeo Mike Pompeo's son Mike Pompeo on steroids I mean they get mad at each year that they will be directing us and we don't get to vote in their elections we don't have a defense force anymore we can't go anywhere without American helicopters we can't go anywhere we are just a division not even a division we are a brigade in the US Army and we go whatever they tell us to and that is a disgrace that's actually treason they put me on trial for treason but that is treason anyway the good news and I'll end now the good news is you guys are on the right side of history it makes no sense that Daniel Ellsberg is a hero and Julian Assange is a criminal I mean Albanese knows that in his heart he's going to look like an idiot he's going to he's going to be the sort of Billy McMahon the Harold Holt he's going to be remembered as a goose who just lay down for the American and it's such a shame he could have been a contender and all he had to do is say no the hardest word for the Labor Party you guys on the other hand will be heroes you guys will remember being here day in day out winter summer obviously vilified a lot of the time but you guys have a lot to be proud of when I'm in jail which is likely going to happen because the Americans want it to happen and Albanese he can't say no to the Americans you people will always make me smile and you people have got a lot to be proud of and Julian I'm sure will thank you so thank you
