THE tweets of South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill have been blocked from an internal feed to public servants in his own department.
The South Australian opposition said a number of public servants had contacted the party concerned over the use of the taxpayer-funded intranet for party political purposes.
Opposition frontbencher Rob Lucas emailed the premier's department chief executive Jim Hallion over the issue.
Mr Hallion responded by blocking the tweets appearing on the internal website from Mr Weatherill, all the other SA ministers and the government's media unit.
Mr Lucas said it was contrary to every principle of an independent public service to feature party political advertising on a taxpayer-funded internal government website.
"Public servants should be able to work and do their jobs without having partisan political messages appearing on their computers," he said.
A spokesperson for the premier said the Twitter feed had been put up without reference to the premier's office.
"We do not think it is appropriate for political tweets to be displayed on a departmental website," the spokesperson said.
