APS Bargaining Survey
Dear Australian Public Service Commission,
I refer to the survey currently being conducted by the APSC in relation APS Bargaining. That survey was notified to members of the APS by way of an email sent by APSC Deputy Commissioner, Workplace Relations Bargaining Taskforce, Peter Riordan. The platform used to conduct the survey appears to be provided by Qualtrics.
Under the FOI Act, I request a copy of the contract entered into between the APSC (obo the Commonwealth) with the survey platform provider. I consent to the redaction of any fees and charges mentioned in the contract. Noting paragraphs 6.153 and 6.154 of the Guidelines made by the Information Commissioner under s.93A of the FOI Act, I also consent to redaction of the personal information of any person contained in the contract who was not, at the relevant time, a member of the APS or a statutory officer.
Noting the Public Service Commissioner's functions under the Public Servant Act, there's a clear public interest in whether the Public Service Commissioner has complied with all of his legal obligations in authorising the expenditure of public monies. I'm happy to provide additional submissions in relation to the public interest in this matter on request, in response to any issued charges notices, and/or in response to an access refusal decision. Those submissions will reference conduct engaged in by current and former APSC staff, the former Public Service Commissioner along with his Liberal Party bedfellow, current Public Service Commissioner, Peter Woolcott.
Yours faithfully,
V Champion
