The Informant! Kieran Pender on whistleblowers, regulators, protections and their limits
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
Kieran Pender from the Human Rights Law Centre joins us to talk about whistleblowers -- how they're protected, how they engage with regulators, the changes that could be coming, and how businesses can encourage accountability in their own culture and processes. Plus the new merger notification waiver form; firings, re-hirings and re-firings in the US antitrust agencies; Google wins, loses or draws on penalties; the ACCC's purple patch in cartel enforcement and the last informal merger reviews race for the finish line. All this and morels with co-hosts Moya Dodd and Matt Rubinstein of The Competitive Edge podcast.
Breaking News:
- All three judgments and 750,000 words of the Epic Games and class action cases against Apple and Google are now available: Epic v Apple, Epic v Google and all the class action action. Justice Beach has indicated he may be up for additional reasons or judgments on the non-section 46 issues so we may yet break the million-word mark.
