Gambling industry whistleblower Troy Stolz set to launch own political party to improve protections for informants
“I disappeared after the election for a while and about six months of that I was pretty much laid up in bed in the house, I was exhausted, I had nothing else to give.” Still a dying man, Stolz is again pushing to enter the world of politics, this time at a federal level.Stolz has recruited another high-profile figure – Jeff Morris – for the political fight.
“We are looking at the Whistleblower Integrity Party, we want to get into the senate and are looking at where we can run, we’ve got some great whistleblower candidates.” Peter Fox, a former Detective Chief Inspector of NSW Police, who made explosive claims of an alleged cover up of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, is supporting Stolz’s political push.“I don’t shy away from the fact I did see psychologists and psychiatrists for many years after it because of the amount of torment I was put through, nearly every whistleblower goes through that.
“In June last year the Parliament passed priority amendments to the Public Interest Disclosure Act which ensured immediate improvements to the public sector whistleblower scheme were in place in time for the commencement of the National Anti-Corruption Commission,” the statement said.
