Andrew Little: Public Service Minister says he hasn't lost faith public servants are neutral

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

Civil servants are being urged to remain neutral in the wake of politically-charged comments and public sackings. Deputy Chair of Fire and Emergency and the Earthquake Commission Ruth Dyson is the latest to face the heat. The former Port Hills MP admitted she hadn't read her code of conduct -- her Twitter bio reads she's 'still Labour.' Pharmac Chair Steve Maharey has retained his job despite offering his resignation, while Rob Campbell has been fired for sharing unbalanced views. Public Service Minister Andrew Little told Mike Hosking he hasn't lost faith public servants are neutral. He says the issues lie with three people, out of several thousand.
