No surprise to participants in this discussion board! If people are not fired either at the RPA or the DOT, then this kind of thing will go on and on and on. And if public sector rules forbid firing, then individuals should be named and their personnnel records and/or CVs should have the information which ensures that at least they will not get promoted.
The precedents are simply awful. There has been one fairly recent case of an enforced resignation of a very senior civil servant because of failure to advise a minister properly. What happened? He got an equally well-paid job in another state organisation as a consolation prize. Some consolation!
Not only are people not being fired, they are not even being named, for fear of a letter from Sue, Grabbit and Runne.
