Richard Boyle, a 49-year-old former debt collection officer for the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), has avoided jail time after a plea deal for exposing unethical debt recovery practices.
Boyle admitted to four criminal charges, including disclosing protected information and recording private conversations.
The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions withdrew 15 other charges, with five already dropped in March.
His case has sparked calls for reform in whistleblower protection laws to ensure future whistleblowers are better protected.
Boyle will be sentenced on August 1.
