‘Rush to ASIC’: White-collar whistleblowers to get legal immunity – The Australian Financial Review
Employees who blow the whistle on serious white-collar crime will be eligible for immunity from legal action under a new policy announced by ASIC.

People found to have committed such offences face up to 15 years in jail and fines up to $1 million or three times the benefit of the contravention.
