First Anniversary Auction

One year ago, we did not exist.

Today, The Information Rights Project is defending a military whistleblower in prison. A journalist before the Federal Court for her reporting. A former ASIO agent in hiding because he told Australians the truth.

No other organisation in Australia took these cases. We did.

Every item here is rare and collectable. Your bid, and anything you add on top, funds our work.

You do not need to win to make a difference. Place a bid, or make a separate tax-deductible donation right here on this page. Every donation of $2 or more is tax deductible. Those dollars protects someone's right to tell the truth.

The Information Rights Project. ABN 94 664 659 992. A registered charity defending whistleblowers, journalists, publishers punished for telling the truth.

All item values are approximate. Postage is free within Australia. Overseas postage is quoted at the buyer's expense.

Bidding closes 11:59pm AEST on 3 July.
