From michaelwest.com.au: Whistleblower Tony Watson, who exposed a $300 million tax fraud by Lendlease, faces a legal battle against the construction giant and its advisors PwC, represented by 13 lawyers, while he struggles financially after losing his home.

The Australian Tax Office has refused to provide Watson with legal assistance despite acknowledging his role in saving taxpayer money, raising concerns about the viability of whistleblower protections.

Watson’s case highlights deficiencies in Australian whistleblower laws, which have effectively left him to navigate an unjust judicial system on his own.
