Exposed – Peter Severin
It seems successive Governments fail to
carry out their due diligence when employing people in top Government
positions.
Peter Severin, the second worst
Commissioner in the New South Wales Department of Corrective Services, came
with baggage.
It appears that in 2003, Mr. Severin left
the Queensland Corrective Services under a huge, dark cloud when it was
discovered he was having an affair with an AO2 office worker. An AO2 public servant is a very low grade
indeed and for a person of Mr. Severin’s position, it can only be described as inexcusable
behaviour.
If the same behaviour occurred today, there
would be major consequences.
The hard working men and women on the front
line in the Queensland Prison Service liken Mr. Severin to little more than a
joke and were glad to see the back of him.
Read the following circular that was
published and as an invitation to Mr. Severin’s farewell. It is clear that he was not well liked.
