Question Answered step-by-step Q1 Case 1 Read the following email that was proposed to be sent to… Q1Case 1Read the following email that was proposed to be sent to all staff at a community services organisation.To all staff:Re: New Community Services program likely to be approved by Cabinet this week. CONFIDENTIALA leak from a reputable source at Parliament House has indicated that it appears very likely that the Government will announce a new community services directive later this week. The directive will be a restriction on the amount of money that can be “cashed” from a pension check. Under the proposal, only $30 per week will be allowed to be cashed. All other money will need to be spent on either rent, food, clothing or schooling costs.The initiative is designed to prevent pension recipients from spending money on such things as gambling, alcohol, cigarettes and drugs and follows the Royal Commission into Children’s Poverty report tabled in Parliament last week.As this information is highly confidential until confirmed following released by Cabinet, staff should not discuss this with anybody outside the organisation. Staff should however commence with work to consider the impact of this directive on current programs and clients.Johnny Not-CleverFoot-in-mouth Section Luckily the Communications Manager was made aware of this all staff email before it was sent out and as it broke many of the communications protocols for the organisation he cancelled the correspondence and sent Johnny Not-Clever for performance counselling and training in effective communication.Answer the following questions:a) What would have been the political implications of this All Staff circular if it had been sent out?b) What economic impact could this have had on the organisation that was going to publish the circular?c) What social impact could this have had on the Australian population if the information had hit the media?d) What problems are there with the technology in sending out a confidential “All staff circular” by email?
