One of the ways the TEC maintains its integrity is by ensuring that employees are, and are seen to be, politically neutral. The Anti-Discrimination Commissioner has granted the TEC an exemption under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998, giving it discretion to only employ people it determines to be politically neutral.
