Michael Pezzullo Stripped of Order of Australia Medal Nearly a Year After Sacking, Albanese Disagrees
Oct 19, 2024, 09:31 PM
Michael Pezzullo, the former secretary of the Department of Home Affairs, has been stripped of his Order of Australia medal nearly a year after his dismissal. Pezzullo commented that the removal of the honor 'does not amount to a hill of beans.' The decision has raised questions about whether other Australian Public Service (APS) officials who violate the code of conduct will also face similar consequences. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese reportedly does not support the decision to revoke Pezzullo's medal, as indicated by Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. This situation highlights ongoing discussions regarding accountability within the APS and the handling of honors in light of conduct violations.
