Immigration Department launches war on onesies

FORGET ‘stopping the boats’: the Immigration Department is stopping onesies at work. And UGG boots. And thongs. And jeans.

The Government's war on onesies

FORGET ‘stopping the boats’: the Immigration Department is stopping onesies at work.

Department boss Michael Pezzullo revealed to a Senate committee on Monday that a staff code of conduct has been rolled out including advice on professional business dress standards.

He admitted being asked to make an official determination about the wearing of onesies at work but he didn’t know what term meant at the time.

“Onesies, ugg boots, thongs, jeans torn and otherwise ... from an abundance of caution we have provided certainty, (that these are inappropriate),” Mr Pezzullo said.

“We don’t see this as a particularly dramatic or draconian imposition upon our staff, it’s just about basic professionalism.”

When Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young asked whether staff were actually rocking up to work in ugg boots, Mr Pezzullo said: “You’d be surprised”.

This alarming news comes as Mr Pelluzo confirmed that more than a dozen executives at the Immigration Department have left since he was appointed its boss eight months ago.

Maybe they saw the onesie ban coming?
