Most of these changes seem to be legitimate attempts to try and help pull back a lot of the draconian changes to whistleblowing laws over the years.

Agree they don’t go far enough, but it seems like labor is playing it gently first, so as to not scare anyone (or more accurately open an obvious door to vested media interests who would be able to spin it negatively very quickly). It’s unfortunate, but almost a requirement at this stage until the general public become generally more literate to modern media (propaganda, but that’s read as too much as a strong description these days) tactics/game.
