An Australian government worker was sacked four days into his job after his employer said he failed to disclose he had been given information suspected of being leaked from the United States Department of Homeland Security.
A termination letter dated March 9 from the employer - the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy - said the employee, Tim Byrnes, was sacked immediately.
''Your association with this matter raised serious reputation and security issues and is inconsistent with the role you were engaged to undertake,'' said the letter obtained by the Sunday Canberra Times.
According to the letter, the information Mr Byrnes had received related to ''Russia or Georgia''.
Mr Byrnes, who was given one week's pay in lieu of notice, said he had been employed in the department's media section in Canberra. The information he had related to a documentary he had been personally researching about illegal arms deals. ''I am shocked more than anything,'' Mr Byrnes said.
''My security clearance was a simple entry level 'protected'. I was a media officer and had no access to sensitive information.
''I declared that I had been working in this area and had lived and worked as a journalist in Russia and South Ossetia.''
He said the matter required a more thorough investigation and an opportunity to defend himself.
''And then if I was still classed as a threat, I would have walked.
''I have contacted Fair Work Australia and I am unable to seek an unfair dismissal claim because I was working at the department for less than the qualifying time, as stated under the legislation.''
A department spokesperson who confirmed the termination letter and reasons for sacking were legitimate said Mr Byrnes had received the allegedly sensitive US government information before his employment.
''The department met all its obligations under the Fair Work Act 2009,'' the spokesperson said.
