Ani O'Brien: Free Speech Union Council Member on ACT promising to keep workplace regulators from policing free speech
Published 1 week ago
Description
The ACT Party's promising to ensure freedom of speech for professional regulators if re-elected.
The proposal would ban regulators from disciplining workers for lawful expression outside of professional practice.
It would require them to remain neutral on political issues and restrict mandatory training to matters directly related to professional competence and safety.
Free Speech Union council member Ani O'Brien told Andrew Dickens these people are currently being judged on more than just their competence.
She says workers are being policed on what they post on social media and their political beliefs.
