Within this 3rd season, I aim to:

  3. Foster evidentiary standards to support 3rd-party investigative journalism allowing whistleblowers to bring attention to any rorts in confidence;

that will foster transparency and bring a higher degree of accountability via self-discipline (not top-down regulation xref video link in image).
