Transport Minister Jo Haylen has asked Transport boss Josh Murray to investigate whether a junior public servant broke employment rules.
NSW Transport Minister Jo Haylen has asked her department head to investigate a public servant after it emerged the junior bureaucrat was doing political work while on secondment to her office, including collating a list of Coalition backflips and organising a barbeque to celebrate Labor’s election win.
That position has strict requirements, including not undertaking any work that could be seen as political. On May 10, Ash circulated a “backflips timeline” with a list of Coalition MPs who were responsible during their time in government, including former transport minister Andrew Constance and former planning minister Rob Stokes.
Ash’s appointment later drew the attention of then-acting transport secretary Howard Collins, internal documents previously released to parliament revealed.
