Special report from Port Arthur, Texas. It is one of the saddest, most desolate places I have ever visited. It is also where Aramco, FIFA's major worldwide partner and an inescapable presence at the World Cup, owns the largest oil refinery in the US. https://t.co/RqNNq1neum

Thank you @senatorscarr for this important contribution to the Senate this afternoon pointing out the public good #whistleblowers perform (in this case the @kpmgaustralia whistleblower) and the need for whistleblowers to be properly protected. 🫡#auspol

[Bill Browne @Browne90]

The KPMG hearings today show how vulnerable whistleblowers are.

It's bad enough in public sector + corporations, but partnerships are even worse!

More from Alana Barbaro, @KieranPender and myself on The Point. https://t.co/Fgw0kqsK1g
