The State Services Commision has also been alerted to this shameless
practice:

Of all places to do it they distribute it at public health facilities.
The socialists are getting really desperate when they have to try this sort
of shit to try to brainwash the public.
go to the PSA website and do your own investigations rather than rely on sfb
like Humph. Fuck me, there is a response to Nationals tax cuts from ACT, NZ
First, Progressives, Greens, UFO. There is also an analysis of the public
sector by economist Peter Harris. In terms of brainwashing the public, what
the heck does Brash try to do everynight on the news, brain wahs the public
and buy their vote. Gosh, I guess you would call it an election.

Read that page.
Hardly appropriate to hand out that rubbish at public health facilites....
I read it. Is Sir Bumph worried about what the PSA is putting out or someone
handing it out in their workplace?

It is inappropriate for agency premises or other resources to be used for
'electioneering'
That very sounds clear to me.
Why don't you respond to the issue rather than making juvenile
misspelling attacks. A union member using her position at a public
hospital to hand out blatant propaganda as if it was somehow sanctioned
by her place of work is completely inappropriate.
Hospitals are not government departments, any more than universities
are. They are under the control of district health boards.
Keh - that gets "The Dick of the Week" award
That would be like Brownlee trying to throw some guy down the stairs
at a National Party conference, would it?
The SSC regulates all public sector employers and employees, and the
DHB's come under the Ministry of Health:
http://www.moh.govt.nz/districthealthboards
"DHBs have very wide responsibilities for publicly funded health and
disability services, including purchasing of services. They are bodies
corporate owned by the Crown and are required to operate in a
transparent manner."
http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/wpg_index/About-DHBs#5_0
Universities have their own Act's of Parliament to maintain
independence from the Govement.
I can see why no-one bothers with the tone on newsgroups anymore.
I guess if this dude was really worried he would have complained to the
manager of this public service institution and the manager would then have
considered whether it was a disciplinary action. How or when the worker was
handing out election information I am not sure. If it is a breach of state
sector protocols I guess it is open for disciplinary action.
What he does go on at some length however is the PSA. I have suggested
people go and have a look at the PSA website. A seperate issue to
peoplehanding out election information in their workplace.
rob
SO if these pamphlets were actually sanctioned by someone in the PSA
(in addition to having their members hand them out in hospitals), then
that someone should be removed from their position fairly quickly.
He who pays the money has the power.
