Ideas at the House: Panel - The War on Whistleblowers and Their Publishers (16/9/13 Sydney Opera House)
US Journalist and activist Alexa O'Brien and Australian commentator
Robert Manne are joined by video conference with Wikileaks founder
Julian Assange, Guardian Journalist Glenn Greenwald and Chelsea
Manning's Lawyer David Coombs on stage at the Sydney Opera House
(moderated by Bernard Keane of Crikey).
Powerful governments are waging a war on whistleblowers and those involved in publishing their material. Edward Snowden has been granted temporary asylum in Russia, Manning has been convicted of espionage and is awaiting sentencing, and Julian Assange has been granted asylum by Ecuador but cannot step outside its London Embassy. It's clear that the actions of whistleblowers and their publishers - 'traitors' as they are known to some - have come at a significant personal cost, and while the human drama of these stories is engrossing, the focus should be on the very real issues they've raised: surveillance, press freedom, privacy, secrecy, and accountability.
The roles of governments and corporations in the future of the internet, and their use and abuse of data, have been put under the global spotlight. In the wake of Manning, Snowden and Wikileaks, we finally have the scope to properly debate the need for government transparency and the trade-off between privacy and security.
Watch our expert panel discuss the implications of the war on whistleblowers for the main actors, and the consequences if that war is lost for the rest of us
Looking forward to the Melbourne leg of this tonight

Tacita Dean: JG Ballard, Robert Smithson and me
Artist Tacita Dean
talks to Adrian Searle about her epic search for Robert Smithson's
ethereal earthwork Spiral Jetty in Utah – and how she discovered that JG
Ballard shared her adoration of the land artist. The former Turner
prize nominee, who displayed filmic work at Tate Modern's Turbine Hall
in 2011, exhibits the new videowork called JG alongside a series of
postcards from prewar Kassel in Germany, over-painted by the artist to
show 70 years of change. The show is at London's Frith Street Gallery from Friday to 26 October
