Petitions

Merit Protection Commissioner

To the Honourable The Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives

This petition of a citizen of Australia:

draws to the attention of the House of Representatives that his application for a Secondary Review of Actions by the Merit Protection Commissioner, submitted through the Secretary of Commonwealth Department of Finance and Deregulation (Finance) on 14/11/2010, is yet to receive a response. APSC has recently informed that the application was not forwarded to them. The application requested the Commissioner, among other issues, to review:

      I ask the House to take all necessary steps to ensure that:

            I also ask the House to consider whether an arms-length truly independent Public Service Commission drawn from outside the public service would serve Australia better and fairer.

            from one citizen
