‘Standard practice’: false survey data was provided to defence department, McNair whistleblower claims
Exclusive: Details on a military recruitment survey were allegedly fabricated, claims whistleblower who is seeking protection under Australia’s complex disclosure laws
An insider at a government-contracted market research firm is alleging it was “standard practice” to fabricate survey data on potential defence recruits for a military recruitment project. The allegations were made as part of a formal disclosure process as the insider seeks corporate whistleblower protection under federal law.
Guardian Australia this week revealed allegations by a research interviewer for McNair yellowSquares, a frequent government contractor, alleging he was instructed to fabricate data on Indigenous Australians in regional areas and Adelaide for an Australian Electoral Commission project during last year’s referendum.
