THE Howard Government's industrial relations department broke its own laws when it ordered public servants not to go to an ACTU protest rally in November 2005.
Federal Court judge Catherine Branson ruled yesterday a written order issued by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations that departments deny leave to public servants wanting to attend the rally was in breach of freedom-of-association provisions enshrined in the legislation.
