@LadyCJD In this instance, there was a misunderstanding if badges with the Aboriginal flag could be worn. This has been made clear that the wearing Aboriginal flag badges is allowed at the Library and always has been.

@LadyCJD No. Guidelines are regularly updated and reviewed based on feedback from Library team members. An incorrect draft-in-development of the dress code guidelines was uploaded on the Intranet for a short period of time.

Happy NAIDOC week from @Library_Vic

@missyjack @1KarenWyld All public sector employees need to comply with the public sector values in the Public Administration Act 2004 (PAA) and their obligations in the relevant Codes of Conduct.

@NotSoTravelled The Code of Conduct applies to staff at the Library. Visitors to the Library are not bound by the code of conduct so are able to wear items of a political nature.

The zionist influence is so strong in Victoria, that @Library_Vic feels impelled to ban, not only the Palestinian flag on their staff, but also the Aboriginal flag, which is one of Australia's three flags.
