Damage to APSC reputation by former Commissioner
Dear Australian Public Service Commission,
Under the FOI Act I request all documents that touch on issues such as:
- reputational damage to the APSC
- loss of confidence in the APSC among APSC staff and other APS employees
as a result of former Commissioner and IPA pin-up boy John Lloyd's tenure and his career-ending misconduct finding.
Yours faithfully,
D Conway
