I can't believe you're so enamoured with such a big government policy PR
Actually this is what I like. The Left leaning groups get angry when their apparent right to show through protest movement or otherwise their position on issues is restricted in anyway. They then however feel that there should be brisk penalties handed to anyone going against the views of people who are aligning with their ideologies if they are seen to offend or upset them. Hence this totally is why using Gough's example as a relevant one in homosexual groups feel they should have the right to have their voices heard on issues like marriage for homosexuals and yet condemn and demand mechanisms to sanction those who will criticise their position on an issue as they are being 'bigoted' even if it is just they are presenting an alternate point on an issue. This is as much the reason that Nicola's communism laws on speech failed as much as Brandis' 18c repeal even though the latter was much milder in comparison.I believe in free speech more than a policy and people should choose their values and professionalism over a job.
An exception to the rule of free speech is misleading and deceptive conduct by anyone including political stooges. Unfortunately Ratts has shown his hand.
You've been playing the man against me for over a year and aren't getting any better at it. You've decided to hi-jack this thread so at least try to be coherent. You don't want people putting you on Ignore.there is unlikely a breach of the law.
Hey Power Raid, perhaps instead of spending your waking hours trying to play the man against me with wet lettuce arguments, you could actually try and summarise your position in a way that makes sense?
I know this is a tough thing to ask of you, but you seem to fail to see the contradiction between saying repeatedly that someone criticising the government would be a breach of common law, and then saying in an example given that:
You've been playing the man against me for over a year and aren't getting any better at it. You've decided to hi-jack this thread so at least try to be coherent. You don't want people putting you on Ignore.
Exactly. Essentially experience says servants of public think that the coalition being employed is disgraceful etc and should be allowed to tee off on them without repercussion and complain consequently if/when that they do. The y often seem suddenly to go god damn quiet some of them when a lefty government is in.If I had an employee who was slagging me the boss or any other of my staff off on social media i'd dismiss their worthless arses too.
If you don't have the courage to say it to my face then good luck looking for another job.
Nice story, but somewhat ruined by the fact the Labor government also didn't allow criticism from public servants either. However, the 'dob in a co-worker' stuff was pushed by the Liberals.Exactly.

Don't be so thin-skinned. If your running a good business and they're doing their job competently, what do you care if they don't like aspects of your management? But let's not pretend that criticising the government, who is doing things in our name with our taxpayer money, is anything like criticising a private employer who may lose business in a competitive environment if someone defames them (for which there are laws already, of course) or questions their abilities. Making such a false comparison is completely disingenuous.If I had an employee who was slagging me the boss or any other of my staff off on social media i'd dismiss their worthless arses too.

1) So in order to protect OH&S you should dob in a colleague who is critical of the government? As per usual you are making no sense.I am not playing the man just calling you out for the misleading thread title and providing you a fair right to reply.
Why would you create such a misleading title thread relating to changes of government employees employment contracts which:
1) the changes, relating to reporting third parties and fellow employees, were based on a legal precedent clarifying employee and management's obligations in 2012. This case clarified silence in employment contracts relating reporting obligations was not acceptable but silence was also not consistent with modern OH&S, professional conduct and other legal concepts. As such a term was included to bridge this gap.
2) the removal of a paragraph, being paragraph 5, had no legal effect as the principle was already well established under common law and can not be waived by its omission or any other mechanism.
Were you deliberately trying to mislead? Who put you up to this? Or was it just a bona fide mistake?
Nice story, but somewhat ruined by the fact the Labor government also didn't allow criticism from public servants either. However, the 'dob in a co-worker' stuff was pushed by the Liberals.
Personally I would be disappointed a worker didn't have the courage or confidence to voice their concerns with management. I wouldn't sack a worker for be unprofessional but I would certainly ask why they felt the need to vent rather than deal with the concern.Don't be so thin-skinned.

But let's not pretend that criticising the government, who is doing things in our name with our taxpayer money, is anything like criticising a private employer who may lose business in a competitive environment if someone defames them (for which there are laws already, of course) or questions their abilities. Making such a false comparison is completely disingenuous.

2) So why did they remove it?
3) Just because you keep repeating that I have misled people, doesn't actually make it so. But you obviously know you have a weak case, which is why you keep repeating the same thing. It's called Abbott Politics 101.
I know you think you are onto something here, mate, which is why you are repeating it endlessly, but the truth is your prose is not clear enough for people to understand it and respond appropriately. Of course, you are also repeating it endlessly because you want to push a politically motivated point of view, but I actually want to talk about whether people think public servants should be allowed to criticise the government. So can you stop repeating yourself and stop hi-jacking the thread?why? because the court case deciding that common law ...

Perhaps you're in a small business, but every large business has people whinging about management, sometimes with merit, sometimes because that's part of office culture. To try and suggest that people shouldn't complain about their job is pretty naive to me. Mostly it is going to be complaining about having to work late on something, or being asked to do contradictory things by a boss, or a boss taking credit for work done by underlings, etc.Zero to do with being thing skinned. If an employee is slandering the business, the employer or other employees that is a problem in my eyes.
If you have a grievance take it to a superior in the work organisation, not to the public domain. Highly unprofessional thing to do in a workplace.
So you would have been against Godwin Gretch at the time I'm guessing? Again, as I said earlier before Power Raid cluttered up the thread, if someone is wrong / showing a gross lack of 'neutrality' / trying to smear their employee, it is very different to someone who has knowledge as part of their job which goes against what the government is telling us publicly. Scott Morrison's department removed information on self-harm levels in asylum seeker detainees from their reports. This may have been done without even Morrison's knowledge (maintaing plausible deniability for him). Who are these people to alter the facts? Facts that we base our assessment of the government on? Information is everything in a democracy, otherwise on what basis are we meant to vote?If you'e some kind of Labor/Liberal stooge working as a public servant and can't keep up a professional outward neutrality then go seek employment elsewhere.
We need public servants who will do their job regardless of who is in power, not some fan bois who get the sooks on when their side isn't in power.

And the idea that public servants serve only the serving politician, instead of the Australian public is, frankly, f***ed.Don't confuse being a whistle-blower and slandering an employer.
Plus, working for the state should not prohibit one from being politically engaged.
And the idea that public servants serve only the serving politician, instead of the Australian public is, frankly, f***ed.
Whistle-blowers are a vital part of our democracy we need to protect those who bravely step forward to report abuse, fraud and corruption.
