Reinstatement of Jarron McInnes as TECT Park Ranger

Coverage is one-sided, so without prior knowledge of the events that lead to dismissal we can't say for certain it wasn't justified. There could factors that can't be disclosed without breaching privacy, so they may not be able to report on it. 

However, what the petition asks for is reasonable. It appears possible that the Council did not uphold their responsibilities to their employee in supporting him in his role, the manner in which he was dismissed, and failure to protect his privacy (re:the public finding out about dismissal before he did, if that's true). If that is the case the Council has exposed ratepayers to the cost of defending their position and any settlements or judgements against them. Since we pay Council to get these things right, we need to know about any possible failures, for the sake of not only this case but the ongoing effectiveness of WBOPDC's services going forward. We can't have people in charge who don't follow employment law.
