Public sector union rips piss head Briggs a new asshole - calls for complainant protection

From the front page of The Australian on the weekend

The public sector union has come out in defence of the complainant involved in the Jamie Briggs piss head affair. It has been scathing of the breach of privacy, particularly as it involves a minister and not a regular public servant.

Surely Briggs should face the "serious repercussions" of leaking the photo, as all other public servants do? After all, the unrepresentative swill in Canberra often forget that that is exactly what they are. Why should there be one rule for a gov front bench minister and another for the rest of the public service?

In this case with Briggs it certainly looks like there's a case to answer. He's admitted he shared the pic both before and after the complaint was made. Then we have the conga line of suck holes afterwards from fellow gov ministers saying what a wonderful bloke Briggs is, virtually insinuating that it was the public servants fault and not Brigg's.

Information about her age, her university degree and her job title has also been published by media outlets. 

Her name has not been revealed. 

The assistant national secretary of the Community and Public Sector Union, Michael Tull, said the public servant’s privacy had been breached. 

“It’s never easy for a person who works in the public sector to raise inappropriate behaviour, especially when a politician is involved, which is why we need genuine protections for people who do make complaints,” Mr Tull said. 

“One of the most important protections is the right to privacy. 

“That’s clearly not happened in this case and that’s disgraceful. 

“If this kind of gross breach of privacy had come from a senior departmental official, or any other public sector worker for that matter, that person would be facing serious repercussions. 

“People should feel safe to raise their concerns without this kind of blowback.” 

He called on department officials to contact the Special Minister of State “seeking the protection of their employee” and ensure it follows procedures that protect the privacy of the complainant. The New Daily  

"Don't sexually harass people" is apparently too high a bar for some ministers. https://t.co/XlYcg8dmWl pic.twitter.com/Rh2YPXKsZb
