Prison head's complaints tabled in Parliament 4

A document has been tabled in the Tasmanian Parliament that the Opposition claims is a complaint filed to the Integrity Commission by the former Risdon Prison boss.

After a heated debate about whether Barry Greenberry’s complaints and an email he sent to the Corrections Minister should be tabled in parliament, an edited version of the document was placed on the public record.

In it, Mr Greenberry says he is unwell as a result of trying to manage toxic relationships at work.

Mr Greenberry says he was asked to produce savings plans which he knew would be unacceptable to the government and therefore not likely to be implemented.

He says he found out in November that he was to be formally disciplined and was told this was well known at work.

Mr Greenberry says he felt bullied, and if this is the way the public service operates in Tasmania, he wants nothing to do with it.

Earlier, the Tasmanian Opposition accused the Justice Department of offering Mr Greenberry financial incentives to quit early.

Mr Greenberry left the post just nine months into a five year contract, taking with him a $260,000 taxpayer funded settlement.

The Corrections Minister, Nick McKim, says it was due to personal reasons.
