Government House, Canberra.
CONSERVATIVE lobbyists have attacked a training program conducted this week for the Governor-General’s office that has been described as a “privilege walk”.
Avid monarchists are leading the charge on behalf of defending the Queen’s honour against the decision the office of the Australian representative to the monarch made over inviting in an “unconscious bias and inclusivity” training from Charles Sturt University.
But the training that was to be delivered to a small percentage of staff, who lead teams or manage employees of the Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor–General, is not mandatory, with staff free not to participate nor have any expectations to join.
