There are many public servants who would like to have been re-deployed under the CPA in similar circumstances. And, indeed, many were redeployed……out the door and onto the street. The question is how many of her colleagues were redeployed to similar roles? Were there any people in comparable grades who were told that the only option was early retirement? There are many public servants of Ms.Hanney’s age who would have liked to stay on for a few more years, to finish their careers with dignity, but who were forced out at the start of this year by threats that if they did hang on they would suffer a financial penalty for doing so. Nice to see that the government retains some capacity for kindness, even if it’s restricted to family members.
