As far as I’m concerned that is still a right to free speech, not the least because hate speech inherently limits the voice of its victims.
The problems in government are structural and systematic, not individual. The bureaucracy was built into what it is through the accumulation of regulations, poorly implemented policies and agendas, as well as plain mismanagement. Likewise, when the cost of a failed project is a political shitstorm and a parliamentary enquiry, and beyond that you are expected to be entirely accountable and transparent, you need to be risk averse.
You can’t just fix these issues by proclaiming to fire everyone. You need to fix structural and leadership problems.
