Respect should be earned, not demanded
"A Public servant has been penalised $1280 for sending an email to Immigration Minister Chris Bowen which did not show enough 'courtesy' or 'respect'.
Department of Immigration and Citizenship officer Robin Reich sent the email to Mr Bowen suggesting he resign and comparing his management unfavourably with a BP executive during the 2010 Gulf oil spill.
Mr Reich said he had become disillusioned with the department after working as a compliance officer responsible for detaining suspected illegal immigrants and taking them to Villawood Detention Centre in Sydney.
Documents from an internal investigation by Immigration Department staff ruled the email breached the Australian Public Service Act code of conduct. The email: “did not treat the Minister with sufficient respect and courtesy”, was not “impartial” and was “improper use of the Department’s email system”.

Who cares what happens in Australia?
No free speech in the land down under Big Brother is comming
I expect Australians care what happens in Australia. On the other hand, who cares what happens where you are Mr/Ms Arrogant 12:54
"I expect Australians care what happens in Australia."
If they cared, they wouldn't let this shit happen. All that Jon does is moan and bitch about everything.
Oh my, the troll is seeking attention again. Well, it's Xmas, so I guess we can relax the no-feeding rule just this once.
Merry Xmas, troll! Merry Xmas, everyone!
Hey stinky, it is CHRISTMAS, not XMAS. Get with the program or face eternal damnation.
It would appear that Austrailian public servants are even more thin skinned than those in the U.S.
Xmas as a spelling has been used respectfully for centuries (ca 1500 or 1600 a.d., something like that). The x is from the greek spelling of christ, xristos.
Best to leave mockery to the pros, son, it tends to rebound those who ain't up to it.
The XMAS "spelling" is us by lazy louts. When I went to Catholic school, the pastor reamed out anyone who spelled it incorrectly. The Catholic Church is always correct. Hope you like hot environments, stinky.
Perhaps you simply needed reaming out in general. Or perhaps you needed to learn the fuller spelling, too. Or both.
In any event, "Xmas" has its origins in the greek letter chi, which happens to look like an X, and the term was in common use in the middle ages.
Facts matter, adolescent angst does not.

Fact = stinky is right wing jerk. It is time for you to go to one of Obama's re-education camps in the Mojave Desert.
How soon will they replace CHRISTMAS with the phonie celebration KWANZA?
