2003 report that needed to be leaked to the media, was then traced back to it's author, who was then charged with leaking customs information. How did they find who leaked the report, from who which journo's/papers? Why did the Government of the Day? not do anything about the Corruption & Drugs passing thru the airport? Whistleblower Allan Kessing 'vindicated' by airport Customs raid A WHISTELBLOWER convicted of leaking reports about Customs operations at Sydney airport is questioning why it has taken years to act on security flaws. Allan Kessing, who in 2007 was convicted of leaking reports about security at Sydney Airport to the Australian newspaper, told reporters on Friday that it was widely known the airport had problems with security. "It is not possible, it is simply not credible to say that nobody knew there was this extent of corruption," he said. "Anybody who has the slightest experience of this area knew there were problems. "The fact that they haven't been acted on until now begs the question, why?" Mr Kessing - a former Australian Customs officer - wrote two damning reports on Sydney airport security in 2003. He was convicted four years later of having leaked the reports to media. He had faced a maximum two years jail but was instead handed a nine-month suspended sentence. Speaking alongside Mr Kessing, Independent senator Nick Xenophon urged the federal government to release Mr Kessing's suppressed reports. "The two reports prepared by Mr Kessing 10 years ago, nine years ago, need to be released as a matter of urgency," Senator Xenophon said. "It's important that Justice James Woods is given access to those reports." http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/whistleblower-allan-kessing-vindicated-by-airport-customs-raid/story-e6freuy9-1226541726529
