The federal Employment Department has fired 64 employees deemed to be security risks since 2016, according to records, which noted that one of the fired employees was confirmed to be a foreign spy.
The department’s staff wrote in a March briefing note for Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter that the government could not provide more specific information about the dismissed employees for “sensitivity reasons,” but noted that the firings took place between 2016 and Feb. 9 of this year.
