Furthermore, when an individual is as senior as Pezzullo, attempting to differentiate between private and non-private behaviour is problematic. I recall telling Max Moore-Wilton, former secretary of Prime Minister and Cupboard below John Howard, that his presence at Howard’s election evening perform in 2001 was inconsistent along with his obligation to uphold and promote non-partisanship, regardless of his claims this was a non-public matter in his non-public time. I famous that, had Kim Beazley received that election, Moore-Wilton would have wanted to have the ability to exhibit his capability to serve the brand new prime minister professionally and impartially.
