Public service—privacy
(Question No 2143)
Dr Foskey asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 5 August 2008:
(1) Given that I have now received advice that the legal proceedings mentioned in the answer to question on notice No 2031 have been finalised, can the Minister advise if the ACT Government permits officers, who are subject to a grievance, being able to terminate the employment of an officer who lodged the grievance;
(2) Does the ACT Government permit managers in non-personnel related areas to investigate the work history and background of their superiors.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Employees of the ACT Government hold a range of delegations that enable them to act on behalf of their Chief Executive. The exercise of those delegations must be in accordance with general obligations of public employees and any specific requirements of the delegation. Whether the existence of a grievance limits the proper exercise of an officer’s employment delegation regarding the person who has made the grievance will depend on each case’s individual circumstances.
(2) The ACT Government applies the relevant laws and standards to the access of information in its possession. Any person, including ACT Government employees, may seek information about any other person from available public sources.
