Abstract | This paper considers the implied freedom of political communication in relation to public servants. These employees are typically the subject of stringent codes of conduct in terms of their public comment about political issues. However, their expertise means they have a potentially very valuable contribution to make to public debate. This article considers the difficult reconciliation between these values in the context of a recent High Court decision. |
