  3. I work in the Public Service. Can I participate?
Why does the group cover both Belconnen and Gungahlin, and both a Federal and two ACT electorates? Is this group related to other independent movements across the ACT? What is your policy platform? Is Voices of Belconnen and Gungahlin a political party? Will this group be running independent candidates across three different electorates? How are you funded? I am already a member of a political party. Can I still participate? I work in the Public Service. Can I participate?

I work in the Public Service. Can I participate?

Answer

Yes, you can. Please see Section 6 of the Australian Public Service Code of Conduct or the ACT Public Sector Code of Conduct for guidance on precisely how you can participate (whichever is relevant). We have roles that can involve different levels of exposure, and our work is principally to listen, rather than to express opinions or positions ourselves. Please discuss it with us if you are unsure. You could also refer to similar advice from our friends at proACT.
