Re: Colleagues told: Dob in political web posts

PUBLIC servants will be urged to dob in colleagues posting political criticism of the Abbott government on social media, even if the comments are anonymous, under new Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet guidelines.

The sweeping new rules will even cover public servants posting political comments anonymously, including mummy bloggers on parenting websites, if a colleague knew their online identity.

So much for free speech

I saw tha on FBt, and assumed it must surely be one of those hoaxes that fly around the internet. Sadly, I haven't so far been able to find any suggestion that it is untrue.

I wonder if they get a gold star for participating on any of the right wing anti union or racist hate blogs out there.
