Thought police called in to crush freedom of speech
Someone dared to leak the budget out so the citizens and the media would know what the Government of South Australia is doing...The response - call in Forensic investigators to find the leak and a crack team of lawyers so you can ruin their lives and sue them out of their homes once you find them. And you thought Australia was a country that valued freedom, free speech? Ptah. We will be a third world country soon. Thousands of public servants bear brunt of SA budget cuts MARK COLVIN: If public servants in South Australia were disgruntled enough for one of them to leak a confidential budget report, now they're even angrier. Mike Rann's Government is axing nearly 4,000 public sector jobs as part of savings worth $2.5 billion. But the state budget delivered this afternoon falls short of the drastic cutbacks contained in the leaked report. It's made the Treasurer Kevin Foley look good in comparison, fuelling suspicions about the leak's source. JASON OM: The source of the leak is still unknown. Government lawyers and a forensic IT specialist have been brought in to track it down. Kevin Foley is convinced the trail leads back to the senior echelons of the public service. But the Public Sector Union thinks it's a government ruse. Posted by: anon1 2010-09-16 |
