Political neutrality

One of the ways the TEC maintains its integrity is by ensuring that employees are, and are seen to be, politically neutral. The Anti-Discrimination Commissioner has granted the TEC an exemption under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998, giving it discretion to only employ people it determines to be politically neutral.

This exemption also enables the TEC to refrain from using contractors who engage in political activity that undermines the integrity of the Commission.
