Abstract

The article discusses the alleged politicization of the federal public service sector in Australia. It notes that partisan appointment, which occurs mostly in various federal positions, is one of the most common accusation cited by public authorities and educators. However, the study conducted by the British Royal Institute of Public Administration reveals that the charges cannot not be used as evidences to support claims. Rather, it maintains that continuity of federal experience is a notable trend which bears importance in the promotion of expertise.
