Victorian health official cleared over tweet comparing Captain Cook to COVID-19

But she has since been spoken to about the potential for social media use to undermine community trust in the public service and has deleted Twitter from her work phone.

Liberal backbencher James Newbury referred the tweet to the state's public service watchdog, who released its investigation into the matter on Tuesday. "The risks of private use of social media when working in the public sector, and in particular when occupying a role that involves high profile public communication, have been discussed with Dr van Diemen," said the letter from the Victorian Public Service Commission.

auspol Are we getting closer to elections? Witch hunt has already begun to blame someone aborigines, immigrants, jobless, minorities, the sky above and the land beneath except scomo and Dutton who can do nothing wrong.

Aussies still in DENIAL about INVASION. Living and loving the lie. Let's not forget the Syphillis virus passed on to Indigenous girls who were raped.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn.

Sack her

Leave her alone, why not question the Andrews government over its handling of the virus and unemployment and police harassing homeless people.

God it’s insane that this even had to be discussed. Let the people talk.

Fine. Now let's focus on this life-threatening health emergency, shall we?

We already knew that. Basic common sense, but who was screaching about it? Liberal Party free speech lobbyists?

Quite right too. I bet the rednecks leap out of their holes to complain bitterly about the accuracy of her analogy.

She did here though

Absolutely disgraceful treatment of this eminent person bybthe usual satyrs.

BloggerMe3 How could she have? What idiot asked the question?

Ha! 🤮🤮🤮

She has a point. Can't really argue with that. Can only be outrage! But it was a fair comparison. 🤔

Rubbish. It’s very very clear. FYI everyone this is how most of your health complaints are handled and determined. “Nothing to see here everything was within policy and a code of Conduct’ The code of Conduct is on the Vic Public Service website. Read it.

brain dead the lot of them

Let’s look at the breaching of lives that Dutton is ultimately reponsible for rubyprincess

Well duh

How ironic that her surname is 'van Diemen'. A descendent of Anthony van Diemen, Dutch East India imperialist who explored the Aust coast in the 17th C? Let the pot call the kettle black! Madam, please tell us, are you stupid, or crass, or closed minded or all of these.

'Cleared'. What, was there some kind of criminal trial?

Whats wrong with that, they were both unwanted intruders

Poor old captain cook.hes been blamed for a lot of things not bad for a guy who was only in Australia for about a week

Well of course ... it's called 'Free Speech & The Truth' ... If you don't like it, GET OUT!!! OF AUSTRALIA!!!

RandaltsRandal When our PM is a SpaceInvader we put up with this shit.

Only a few failed people actually asked the question.

Surely their code of conduct includes racism?

A mistake and very unprofessional, but no need to step down on a misguided opinion - we have current govt ministers who have clearly committed crimes and are still getting away with it ffs.

I see so she can put personal opinions under the mantra of her health position

So they have no code of conduct or they have an agenda. I want these lefturds confronted with their agenda & I want them removed from any position of authority. Is anybody listening?🤢🤮

Wouldn't have expected any different outcome from the Public Service Commission !

Libs so desperate.

Get rid of the pathetic politicised cow !

you're the invader step down

COVID-19 NRL updates: RLPA agrees to new NRL pay dealThe RLPlayers has agreed to a pay deal with the NRL and players will return to training on Wednesday. Details - RLPlayers I thought the pay deal was not what they were waiting on... It's all about personal protocol, Health & Safety, and travel restrictions... You know for all those meatheads that can't think for themselves. Guess it was about the pay. RLPlayers Hey NRL! You are about to be the only legit sport being played globally... Ditch Channel 9 and go global (ESPN)! The US market will be desperate for a real sport in 3...2...1... footyindustryAU RLPlayers Tad confused here. NRL has yet to secure financial agreement on 2020 broadcast with Ch9 and Fox, yet pay deal with players done. I appreciate the good faith position, and that players want guarantees before returning to training. But it would have been ideal to know TV $ first.
