Meat - animal welfare breaches in the supply chain?

"Lawyers urge government to protect veterinarian whistleblowers who monitor animal welfare and food safety for trading partners such as the US and EU"

"The Australian government relies on a workforce of veterinarians placed inside export abattoirs to monitor animal welfare and food safety, largely to satisfy the requirements of major trading partners such as the US and EU....Whistleblower vets have repeatedly raised the alarm about profound problems with the system, including allegations that disturbing welfare breaches were going unreported to state regulators."

Day 22 ⚖️⚔️🇦🇺

“I’m in jail because I stood up to Government who has lost respect for #truth and #law, and the nation of Australia, and sacrifices our nation for their own selfish re-election campaigns”

“Probably only one thing is guaranteed about this election: that in three years time #Australia will be in worse shape that it is now.

That is because our system promotes ‘window-dressing’: pretending to do good things with expensive #PR and #media campaigns, while actually doing the opposite. The party which tells the biggest boldest lies, and makes promises that it has no intention of keeping, will win. Australia will lose. A hung parliament is our only hope for progress.

If you want to understand the concept of #WindowDressing, all you have to do is consider how #Labor came in on a promise of more transparent government, a better deal for #women and #ClimateAction. Its hard not to smile in a black-humoured way when those three things are now considered in light of the last three years.” — #DavidMcBride

"When a team of advisers from President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency initiative arrived at the headquarters of the National Labor Relations Board, IT employees at the small, independent agency quickly became worried, according to a whistleblower declaration filed with Congress and shared with NPR.

The NLRB investigates and adjudicates complaints about unfair labor practices. Its databases store reams of potentially sensitive data, from confidential information about employees who want to form unions to proprietary business information.

The DOGE employees, who are effectively led by White House adviser and billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk, appeared to set their sights on accessing the NLRB's internal systems, removing sensitive data and covering their tracks.

(. . .)

'I can't attest to what their end goal was or what they're doing with the data,' said the whistleblower, Daniel Berulis, in an interview with NPR. 'But I can tell you that the bits of the puzzle that I can quantify are scary. ... This is a very bad picture we're looking at.'"

It could also intimidate #whistleblowers who might speak up about unfair labor practices, & it could sow distrust in the #NLRB's independence, they said.

The new revelations about #DOGE's activities at the labor agency come from a #whistleblower in the IT department of the NLRB, who disclosed his concerns to #Congress & the US Office of Special Counsel [#OSC] in a detailed report that was then provided to #NPR.

"Say what you will about president #Obama

But his class and eloquence really made the #deportation of 2.5 million illegal #immigrants, the bombing of 7 muslim countries, the whitewashing of #torture under bush, the continuation of the #drugwar, the rampant prosecution of government #whistleblowers, and his expansion of government #surveillance, go down smooth."
