Carol Mills sacked

Carol Mills

THE Mandarin reports that the Secretary of the Department of Parliamentary Services, Carol Mills, has been sacked.

Speaker Bronwyn Bishop and Senate president Stephen Parry announced today that Ms Mills was terminated as of Wednesday. Parliamentary Librarian Dianne Heriot is acting in the role.

The DPS boss had been under pressure on several fronts. Late last year, she was chastised for her confused and allegedly deceptive testimony to a Senate committee investigating the department’s use of Parliament House security cameras to confirm one of its employees had passed information to former senator John Faulkner.

Carol also appears to have missed out on the planned appointment to be Clerk of the UK’s House of Commons.
